Saturday 17th November 2007  
  Another first winter Penduline Tit was discovered today, this time in Cornwall, at Marazion Marsh, in the same area as the long staying Yellow-browed Warbler. The four Penduline Tits still showed very well at Dingle Marshes, Suffolk, for much of the day, although they can go missing for long periods.

Lancashire's Great White Egret was discovered in nearby Cumbria today, at Beetham, before flying back towards Leighton Moss RSPB. A new King Eider was found off Fetlar, Shetland, and the Lesser Scaup remained on the same island.

Other rarities seen today included the Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, which reappeared at Llanishen Reservoir, White-billed Diver off Selsey Bill, Sussex, Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus, Lesser Scaup in Somerset at Blagdon Lake, and the female Ferruginous Duck at Theale GPs, Berkshire. The second winter Laughing Gull returned to Countess Wear, Devon, where it showed very well within the compound.

Elsewhere, Great Grey Shrikes continued to entertain, with most birds likely to settle down to winter here. The adult Pomarine Skua showed well again between Salthouse and Cley, in the draining fields north of the A149.
