Tuesday 29th January 2008  
  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of a Franklin's Gull at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset. Elsewhere in England the White-crowned Sparrow and two Ross's Geese remained in Norfolk, as did a Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, both Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall, Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex, Lesser Scaup in Oxfordshire, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Ferruginous Duck in Derbyshire and single Great White Egrets in both Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

In Wales the Pacific Diver remained in Pembrokeshire as did the Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan. In Scotland a White-billed Diver was seen again on the Shetland Isles and both Lesser Scaup and Great White Egret were seen on the Western Isles.

Cattle Egret reports today comprised thirteen in Cornwall (where yesterday at least twenty were present), ten in Devon and singles in East Sussex, Hampshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset and West Sussex.
