Monday 31st March 2008  
  The highlight of the day was a Ross's Gull at Marton Mere, Lancashire. Found early in the afternoon this adult bird showed well for more than four hours before disappearing. Elsewhere, a Gyr made a brief appearance at Annagh Head, County Mayo and the identification of a Lesser Scaup at Auchenreoch Loch, Dumfries and Galloway was confirmed (it had first been seen yesterday).

Lingering rarities comprised the Forster's Tern in County Galway, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Cornwall, Spotted Sandpiper in Forth, Ross's Goose in Lancashire, both Lesser Scaup and Great White Egret in Somerset and single King Eiders in both Ayrshire and Devon.

Cattle Egret reports comprised eight in Cornwall, two in Devon and singles in each of Cambridgeshire, Cleveland and Gloucestershire.
