Tuesday 13th March 2007  
  Another day of warm weather produced further arrivals of Chiffchaffs, Sand Martins and Wheatears, along with one or two early Willow Warblers. With these came an adult Night Heron on St.Mary's on the Scillies, the second of the year, following one in south Devon on Sunday. The Long-billed Dowitcher remained on the Essex/Suffolk border at Mistley Walls and, in Norfolk, the two adult Red-breasted Geese continued to entertain at Wells. The first winter Laughing Gull put in another appearance near Exeter, this time at Countess Wear, and the drake Lesser Scaup remained at Blagdon Lake in Somerset. However, at Caerlaverock, only one Lesser Scaup remained, the long-staying female.

The Gyr put in another brief appearance near Polzeath in north Cornwall, but the White-billed Diver remained more confiding on the Hayle Estuary. Elsewhere long-stayers included the Dusky Warbler at Newquay, the White-tailed Eagle in Aberdeenshire, the Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, the Black-eared Kite in Norfolk, the Little Bunting in Hertfordshire and the Grey Phalarope on the River Thames in London.
