Monday 3rd March 2008  
  In Britain lingering rarities confirmed as still present today comprised the White-crowned Sparrow and Ross's Goose in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire, Ross's Goose in Cumbria, Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire, Great White Egret in Cambridgeshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in both Cleveland and Cornwall and the Red-breasted Goose between Hampshire and West Sussex.

In Ireland both the American Buff-bellied Pipit and Lesser Yellowlegs remained in County Cork as did an American Herring Gull in County Galway and a Richardson's Canada Goose in County Sligo. In County Down the Barrow's Goldeneye, Forster's Tern and Lesser Scaup were all seen again.

Cattle Egret reports concerned fifteen in Cornwall, two each in both Devon and West Sussex with singles in Cheshire, Dorset and Glamorgan.
