Wednesday 27th February 2008  
  Both of the highlights of the day came from the Western Isles, where a White-billed Diver was located off the Isle of Lewis near Port Nis and an American Herring Gull was reported on Benbecula.

Lingering rarities included the White-crowned Sparrow still in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, American Buff-bellied Pipit in County Cork, King Eider in Devon, Ferruginous Duck in County Armagh, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in both Cleveland and Cornwall, Glossy Ibises in both Lancashire and Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaups in both Dumfries and Galloway and Warwickshire and single Great White Egrets in both Somerset and Wiltshire. In County Galway both of the American Herring Gulls and the Forster's Tern showed again.

Cattle Egret reports comprised 24 in Cornwall, four in Somerset, three in Hampshire, two in West Sussex and singles in both Cheshire and Dorset.
