  Headline rarities included the Black Duck in Pembrokeshire and Franklin's Gull in Somerset - both remained on show all day. Long-stayers came in the form of Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cleveland and Cornwall, Barrow's Goldeneye in Co Down, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Forth and at least nineteen Cattle Egrets spread between various locations (a flock of at least thirteen remains near Sancreed, Cornwall).
