	An adult Franklins Gull roosted on Farmoor Reservoir, Oxfordshire this evening. A juvenile Ivory Gull was seen briefly on the Howmore Estuary, South Uist mid afternoon. A very late Arctic Warbler was on Unst, and a Kentish Plover was briefly on South Uist. A Lesser Yellowlegs was found late afternoon at Montrose Basin, Angus, and two White-billed Divers were seen: one flying past Flamborough, and a presumed returning adult off Kirkabister, mainland Shetland, with a drake King Eider nearby. As yesterday, large numbers of seabirds continued to be seen around the east coast, although not in the record numbers of Friday. Again, the best count of Little Auks came from the Farne Islands, Northumberland, with over 7,000 birds flying past there. Inland, several Pomarine Skuas were found on reservoirs, such as Grafham Water, Cambridgeshire. Lingering rarities included Glossy Ibis in Somerset, Lesser Scaup in Berkshire, American Buff-bellied Pipit in Cornwall, three Cattle Egrets in Dorset, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Pine Bunting on Fair Isle, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset and Great White Egrets in Norfolk and Lancashire.
