Monday 11th February 2008  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Norton, Cleveland. In Cornwall both the wintering Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers were seen again.

In England lingering rarities comprised the White-crowned Sparrow in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Falcated Duck in Devon, Lesser Scaup and Great White Egret in Warwickshire, single Ross's Geese in both Cumbria and Lancashire and single Great White Egrets in both Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. In Scotland the Lesser Yellowlegs remained in Angus as did the Lesser Scaup on the Western Isles. In Wales the Spotted Sandpiper was still in Glamorgan and in Ireland the American Buff-bellied Pipit was seen again in County Cork.

Cattle Egret reports today concerned 26 in Cornwall, five in Devon, three in Somerset, two in Hampshire and singles in each of Cheshire, County Cork, Lincolnshire and West Sussex.
