	The confirmation of the female Black Duck in Pembrokeshire was the undoubted highlight today. The bird was present all day, but became elusive later on. A new Great White Egret was seen, and photographed well, at Bintree Mill, Norfolk, but was not seen after early morning. There was also belated news of an Alpine Swift in Cornwall, on Saturday. Elsewhere, the King Eider remained in Devon, with the Long-billed Dowitcher still nearby, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire and still good numbers of Cattle Egrets. A small movement of Rough-legged Buzzards was noted, particularly in the south west.
