Tuesday 23rd December 2008  
  Once again, the lingering Snowy Owl at Zennor, Cornwall proved to be the highlight of the day. In Pembrokeshire seven Cattle Egrets were located, whilst the Ross's Goose reappeared in Norfolk and the Lesser Scaup remained in Nottinghamshire, as did the Great White Egret in Hampshire.

Scarcities recorded today included Night Heron in Kent, Rough-legged Buzzard in East Yorkshire, Ring-necked Duck in Buckinghamshire, Snow Geese in Ayrshire, Highland and Moray and Great Grey Shrikes in Hampshire and Surrey.

Waxwing reports totaled 452 birds in 26 counties including maximums of 59 in Suffolk, 52 in Nottinghamshire, 41 in Ayrshire, 40 in County Antrim and 28 in Lothian.
