	A very quiet day today, the one highlight being the Black Scoter still in Conwy now off Penmaenmawr which has not been seen for nearly two weeks. The Glossy Ibis in Lancashire was again today near Lytham and the two male Snowy Owls were again seen on Lewis this morning. Elsewhere, the Black-throated Thrush on Bute, Dusky Warbler & Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall and the Cattle Egret & Laughing Gull in Devon were all still present. Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent and Essex/Suffolk were also both seen today as was the Lesser Scaup in Co.Cavan. Today there was unfortunately no sign of the Gyr in Cornwall or the Pacific Diver in Pembrokeshire and there was no sign of any American Herring Gulls either. However, another White-billed Diver was discovered yesterday, this one was  in Highland in the Sound of Arisaig. Also, the Black-eared Kite was seen in Norfolk yesterday.
