	A male Lesser Scaup at Caerlaverock, Dumfries and Galloway was a new arrival and joined the long-staying female at this site. A Great White Egret put in a brief appearance at the Camel Estuary, Cornwall where the white Gyr, Dusky Warbler and American Wigeon all remained. The Pacific Diver reappeared at Lly-y-Fran Reservoir, Pembrokeshire whilst over-wintering rarities included the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, American Herring Gull in Co Galway and Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall. The White-billed Diver continued to show well at Hayle, Cornwall as did the pair of Red-breasted Geese at Wells, Norfolk, the White-tailed Eagle in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaup in Somerset and Long-billed Dowitcher in Suffolk.
