Tuesday 6th March 2007  
  In south Wales, the Glaucous-winged Gull failed to put in an appearance all day in the Ferryside area of Carmarthenshire, much to the disappointment of many, as it continued to prove difficult to pin down. Nearby, in Pembrokeshire, the Pacific Diver did prove more obliging as it continued it's stay at Llys-y-Fran Reservoir. Cornwall continued to host some top quality birds, with the Gyr seen again at dawn at Stepper Point, the Franklin's Gull again at Hayle along with the White-billed Diver and Spotted Sandpiper and at Newquay the Dusky Warbler was still in residence. In Ireland a new adult Bonaparte's Gull was at Blennerville in County Kerry and the Long-billed Dowitcher remained at Dundalk Docks in County Louth.

Following recent arrivals of some early summer migrants, there were reports of House Martins in Norfolk and Dorset and double figures of Sand Martins in Devon.
