Sunday 3rd February 2008
	The highlight of today may have been the two Penduline Tits at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, but, unfortunately they were only found at dusk. Elsewhere, lingering rarities provided much of the entertainment, with 29 Cattle Egrets, including one in Ceredigion, three Great White Egrets, including a mobile and elusive bird in Somerset, and two Long-billed Dowitchers on the south coast. The Ferruginous Duck continued to show distantly at Shipley Lake, Derbyshire, but the Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire again showed very well. The White-crowned Sparrow was still at Cley, on its new seeded area west of the road, and just one Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler was noted in Cornwall.
