	On Isles of Scilly the Great Reed Warbler was still it on St Mary's. Far more accessible for the masses were the Nearctic gulls in Somerset - a second-winter Franklin's Gull at Chew Valley Lake and first-winter Bonaparte's Gull at Cheddar Reservoir. In Hampshire the juvenile White-tailed Eagle reappeared southwest of Andover and in Suffolk a couple of Penduline Tits were observed at Minsmere RSPB. Elsewhere the Black Duck and Rose-coloured Starling remained in Pembrokeshire, King Eiders were in Devon, Shetland and Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaups lingered in Somerset, Leicestershire, Dumfries and Galloway and Forth, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers remained in Cleveland and Cornwall, the Glossy Ibis and Ross's Goose were in Lancashire and in Devon the Falcated Duck was still at Countess Wear. Late news from yesterday related to a female Bufflehead on a small pond near Leyland, Lancashire, but unfortunately there was no sign this morning.
