Friday 14th December 2007  
  The only new rarity found today was, not surprisingly, a Cattle Egret. This time one was found further north at Martin Mere in Lancashire, and may be only the second record for the county. Elsewhere there were still ten Cattle Egrets to be found in the west country. The Red-breasted Goose was seen again this morning with the Barnacle Geese at Anthorn in Cumbria, but could not be found later in the day. In Sussex, the Red-breasted Goose remained at Chichester and in Suffolk the Pallas's Warbler remained throughout the day just north of Lowestoft.

Other long-stayers included the Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, the Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus, the Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon and the Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire. Also the Desert Wheatear continued it's sojourn in North Yorkshire and the Short-toed Lark was still to be found in Northumberland.
