Tuesday 13th November 2007  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of an adult Red-breasted Goose with the wintering Barnacle Geese at Caerlaverock, Dumfries and Galloway. Elsewhere a Long-billed Dowitcher was new at Seal Sands, Cleveland and a Great White Egret flew in off the sea at Waxham, Norfolk before being tracked northwest along the coast to Morston.

Lingering rarities comprised of the American Buff-bellied Pipit in Cornwall, a Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, four Penduline Tits in Suffolk, White-billed Diver in West Sussex, Glossy Ibis in Somerset, Cattle Egret in County Wicklow, American Golden Plover in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull and Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus and single Lesser Scaups in both Berkshire and the Shetland Isles.

On the Western Isles the juvenile grey morph Gyr remained east of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis but the possibility that is actually an escaped hybrid - perhaps with a parentage including Saker - may prove difficult to eliminate.
