	The Franklin's Gull reappeared in Somerset again today, but was in an area with no public access. In Aberdeenshire, a Bonaparte's Gull was seen at Loch of Strathbeg RSPB this a'noon, whilst a possible Pacific Diver was seen in Dumfries and Galloway. A Lesser Scaup was confirmed today, at Blagdon Lake, Somerset and a probable Black Duck was seen in Pembrokeshire at dusk. Long staying rarities include the King Eider in Devon, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall and Cleveland, Glossy Ibises in Lancashire and Lincolnshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon and Spotted Sandpipers in Glamorgan and Forth.
