Monday 21st January 2008  
  The highlight of the day was the confirmation of a second Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Cornwall; at Camborne. Present since the 15th December, like the other over-wintering Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in the county, it had initially been identified as a Yellow-browed Warbler. Elsewhere, an American Golden Plover was a new discovery at Welney, Norfolk.

Lingering rarities included the White-crowned Sparrow and Ross's Goose in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex, Lesser Scaup in Oxfordshire, Great White Egret in Suffolk and single Lesser Yellowlegs in both Angus and Suffolk.

Cattle Egret reports today comprised sixteen in Cornwall, seven in Devon, four in Dorset, three in County Galway, two in West Sussex and one in Somerset. Late news concerned a further thirteen between County Kerry, County Cork and County Wexford on Sunday.
