Sunday 29th April 2007  
  Once again the adult Egyptian Vulture made an appearance in Norfolk being seen over Warham late morning before again disappearing. Birders searching the area that general area located at least one Black Kite and a Rough-legged Buzzard whilst at Colney the Iberian Chiffchaff remained.

Further Black Kites were noted at West Moors Dorset, Kemsing Down Kent, St Mary's Isles of Scilly, Beachy Head East Sussex, Wedmore Somerset Mildenhall, Lakenheath Suffolk and Barnston Wirral. In Co Cork a Whiskered Tern arrived at Lough Beg and an American Herring Gull was discovered at Youghal whilst additional new rarities in England comprised brief encounters of Red-throated Pipit at Porthgwarra, Cornwall, Glossy Ibis at Braunton, Devon and White Pelican at Barnes, London.

A host of lingering rarities in England included at total of 22 Glossy Ibises in Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Lancashire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Herefordshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Laughing Gull in Devon and Lesser Scaup in Leicestershire. In Scotland King Eider and Lesser Scaup remained as did Forster's Tern and Lesser Yellowlegs in Ireland.
