	A couple of Penduline Tits at Rainham Marshes RSPB, London, were today's headline discovery and a Ross's Goose in Norfolk was also new. Six Cattle Egrets were at Sharphan Park, Somerset, a Lesser Yellowlegs was in Southwold, Suffolk, for its second day and in Merseyside the Glossy Ibis was still at Marshside RSPB. The Staffordshire Spotted Sandpiper was still on show, as was the Hampshire Red-breasted Goose, Buckinghamshire Cattle Egret, Orkney White-billed Diver and Nottinghamshire and Cornwall Lesser Scaups. In Ireland an adult American Herring Gull returned to Nimmo's Pier, Co Galway and a Cattle Egret was at Cuskinny, Co Cork.
