	The Snowy Owl continued to attract admirers at Zennor in Cornwall today, but the Gyr Falcon was not seen on the Scillies. The Desert Wheatear remained at Durness in Highland and the drake King Eider was still to be found off Earlsferry in Fife, with a drake Surf Scoter still in nearby Largo Bay. Five Lesser Scaups were noted today, in Glamorgan, Nottinghamshire, Clyde, County Fermanagh and County Down, and, also in Ireland, the Forster's Tern was seen again at Nimmo's Pier in County Galway. In Norfolk the Ross's Goose was again with Pinkfeet near Acle, and in Berkshire the American Wigeon was still near Newbury. Both Cackling and Taverner's Canada Geese were seen at Caerlaverock in Dumfries and Galloway and in Lothian a lone Richardson's Canada Goose was at Aberlady Bay.The Night Heron remained near Hythe in Kent.
