Wednesday 7th March 2007
	The highlight of the day was a Great Spotted Cuckoo at Dungeness, Kent. First glimpsed yesterday, this classic early spring rarity showed into the afternoon but remained elusive throughout. Cornwall continued to support an impressive line-up of rarities with the white morph Gyr at Stepper Point, Dusky Warbler at Newquay and both White-billed Diver and Spotted Sandpiper on the Hayle Estuary. Elsewhere, the Pacific Diver remained in Wales as did the Long-billed Dowitcher in Ireland with, Barrow's Goldeneye, Snowy Owl, presumed vagrant White-tailed Eagle and three Lesser Scaups all still present in Scotland.
