Thursday 17th January 2008  
  The Pacific Diver, now a second winter, has returned to Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, Pembrokeshire, and now shows a full black chin strap. Other highlights today include an adult or second winter Franklin's Gull in the roost in Wareham Channel, Dorset, and the continued presence of the superb adult White-crowned Sparrow at Cley, Norfolk.

Other lingering rarities include King Eider in Shetland, Wilson's Snipe on Scilly, Lesser Scaup on Benbecula, Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus and still good numbers of both Cattle Egrets and Great White Egrets across the southern half of the country.
