Saturday 22nd December 2007  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Black Duck near Millford, County Donegal. Single Great White Egrets were located at Staines Moor, Surrey and briefly at Wicken Fen, Cambridgeshire.

Record numbers of Cattle Egrets continued to be seen with at least 21, perhaps 30, in Cornwall, two on the Isles of Scilly and singles in Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

Other lingering rarities included the Barrow's Goldeneye in County Down, Desert Wheatear in North Yorkshire, White-tailed Eagle in Hampshire, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex, Laughing Gull on Shetland Isles, Falcated Duck in Staffordshire and single Lesser Scaups in Warwickshire and the Western Isles.
