In Scotland the Red-breasted Goose showed again in Dumfries and Galloway as did the Spotted Sandpiper in Forth, Lesser Scaup on the Western Isles, Bonaparte's Gull in Aberdeenshire and Small Canada Goose in Argyll. In Wales the Spotted Sandpiper remained in Glamorgan. Cattle Egrets confirmed as present today comprised seventeen in Cornwall, two in both Ceredigion and Devon and singles in Cheshire, Dumfries and Galloway, East Sussex, Gloucestershire and West Sussex. In recent days at least fifteen have been seen in County Cork.
