	Two new rare raptors were seen today, a Black Kite in Wiltshire, and a White-tailed Eagle in Conwy, with what was probably the same bird over Prescot, Merseyside yesterday. Two King Eiders were seen in Scotland, in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire, with other rare wildfowl comprising the Barrow's Goldeneye in County Down, and three Lesser Scaups across the country. Both the Bonaparte's Gull and Franklin's Gull remained in Somerset, as did the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Cornwall, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire and several Cattle Egrets. A male White-spotted Bluethroat remained in Suffolk, at Minsmere, but the Winterton bird failed to reappear.
