Saturday 15th December 2007  
  Lingering rarities included Red-breasted Geese at Newton Marsh, Cumbria and West Wittering, West Sussex, Desert Wheatear at Burniston, North Yorkshire, White-tailed Eagle near Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire, Lesser Scaup at Draycote, Warwickshire and Cattle Egrets at four sites in Cornwall, Devon and Gloucestershire. A drake Black Duck was seen again at Ventry, County Kerry, and the long-staying Laughing Gull reappeared on the Exe Estuary in Devon.

Iceland and Glaucous Gulls appeared at a number of Midlands waterbodies, the unseasonal Short-toed Lark and Pallas's Warbler remained in Northumberland and Suffolk respectively, and a late Richard's Pipit was a surprise in Aberdeenshire, but otherwise it was a quiet day and there was little to divert birders from their Christmas shopping.
