Wednesday 20th February 2008  
  The highlight of today was the continued presence of the first-winter drake King Eider in Devon, which showed well all day. Other scarce wildfowl included two Lesser Scaups, one at Draycote Water, Warwickshire, with another drake reappearing at Stourhead NT, Wiltshire.

Other lingering rarities included the White-crowned Sparrow in Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, three Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall and Cleveland, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire and still good numbers of the scarcer egrets. The Black-bellied Dipper remained in East Yorkshire, and an apparent Dark-breasted Barn Owl was seen again in Wiltshire.
