	The Steppe Grey Shrike in Lincolnshire, Pied Wheatear and Two-barred Crossbill in North Yorkshire and Sardinian Warbler in Devon all remained on show today. New discoveries included a Desert Wheatear at Donmouth, Aberdeenshire, Cattle Egret at Back Saltholme Pool, Cleveland (joining the drake Blue-winged Teal that remained at the same site) and a Ferruginous Duck was discovered at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, Glamorgan. In Co Down the adult drake Barrow's Goldeneye returned to the Quoile Pondage for its fourth winter and nearby a Lesser Scaup also returned to Clea Lakes. Other wildfowl highlights included Lesser Scaups in Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Nottinghamshire and the King Eider remained in Devon. A Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler was still on St Mary's Island, Northumberland, the Greater Manchester Great White Egret relocated to Elton Reservoir and in Hampshire the adult Red-breasted Goose was still at Keyhaven and Pennington Marshes.
