Saturday 2nd February 2008  
  New rarities today included a second year American Herring Gull in Cheshire, present briefly at Richmond Bank, along with the usual relocating egrets. A Great White Egret continues to be seen intermittently on the north Norfolk coast, and was seen to leave the Holkham roost but was not re-found. In total, 38 Cattle Egrets were present today, with another 'new' bird in County Cork.

Elsewhere, lingering rarities included the White-crowned Sparrow in Norfolk, Pacific Diver in Pembrokeshire, the return of the King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire, Ferruginous Duck in Derbyshire, two Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall and two American Herring Gulls in County Galway.
