Saturday 23rd February 2008  
  The highlight of the day was, once again, the relocation of the pale juvenile Thayer's Gull (or perhaps a hybrid between Thayer's Gull and either Iceland Gull or Kumlien's Gull), this time in North Yorkshire at the Wheldrake Ings evening gull roost.

Lingering rarities still present today comprised the White-crowned Sparrow and two Ross's Geese in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, King Eider and Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, American Herring Gull in County Galway, Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, Bonaparte's Gull in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus, single Glossy Ibises in both Lancashire and Lincolnshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cleveland and Cornwall (2), Lesser Scaups in County Down, Western Isles and Wiltshire and Great White Egrets in Cambridgeshire, Somerset, Suffolk and Wiltshire.

Cattle Egrets reports totalled thirty birds with 22 in Cornwall, two each in Dorset and West Sussex and singles in Cheshire, Devon, Lancashire and Cambridgeshire; the latter bird relocating to Northamptonshire.
