Thursday 10th January 2008
	The highlight of the day was once again the White-crowned Sparrow, which remained faithful to its favoured garden in Cley, Norfolk. Elsewhere rarities came in the form of a Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in East Sussex, Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex, Lesser Scaups in Somerset, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Western Isles, King Eider in Aberdeenshire and of course, Cattle Egrets galore. Birders twitching the White-crowned Sparrow were spoilt for choice when picking a supporting cast - Ross's and Lesser Snow Geese, Waxwing, Black Brants, Richard's Pipit, Tundra Bean Goose, Great Grey Shrike and an approachable flock of Lapland Buntings were all available in Norfolk today.
