Sunday 24th February 2008
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Forster's Tern at Killyleagh, County Down. Meanwhile, in County Galway the long-staying Forster's Tern showed again alongside two American Herring Gulls. In England the White-crowned Sparrow and two Ross's Geese lingered in Norfolk as did the Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire, King Eider and Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, single Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in both Cleveland and Cornwall, single Glossy Ibises in both Lancashire and Lincolnshire and single Great White Egrets in Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Suffolk and Wiltshire. A Pallas's Warbler was a notable discovery in inland Dorset. In Scotland a King Eider was located in Aberdeenshire and the Lesser Yellowlegs remained in Angus. In Wales the Spotted Sandpiper continued to linger in Glamorgan and a Great White Egret was seen again in Powys. Cattle Egret reports today comprised fifteen in Cornwall, nine in Devon, four in County Cork, two in Dorset and singles in both East Sussex and Wirral.
