	A white morph Gyr was on Isles of Scilly for its second day, today showing on St Mary's. Elsewhere a Cattle Egret was discovered at Dungeness RSPB, Kent (others remained in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Co Cork), the Spotted Sandpiper was still in Staffordshire, the Red-breasted Goose lingered with Dark-bellied Brent Geese at Normandy Lagoon, Hampshire and a White-rumped Sandpiper was seen again at Torpoint, Cornwall. Rough-legged Buzzards were noted in Cambridgeshire, Cornwall and Norfolk and a total of at least 1,178 Waxwings were recorded.
