	The female Black Duck continued her stay at Marloes Mere, Pembrokeshire, and appears to be paired with a drake Mallard. In Somerset, the second-winter Franklin's Gull was located at Keynsham early afternoon, and was still present late afternoon. Long staying rarities included the King Eiders in Devon, off Northam Burrows Country Park, and on Shetland in Mousa Sound. Two Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers were in Cornwall and Cleveland, with Lesser Scaups in Dumfries and Galloway, on the Western Isles and in County Down. Also in County Down, both the Barrow's Goldeneye and the Forster's Tern were seen. The Long-billed Dowitcher remained in Devon, at Bowling Green Marsh, and 18 Cattle Egrets were reported across the UK today.
