Wednesday 21st January 2009  
  The arrival of an adult Ivory Gull on North Uist, Western Isles was well predicted, considering the winds over the past few days. The only other new rarity was a female Ferruginous Duck in Leicestershire, identified today, having been present at the same site yesterday.

Lingering rarities included the Penduline Tit in Devon, Forster's Tern in County Galway/County Clare, King Eider in Fife, single Great White Egrets in Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, Somerset and Hampshire, and Cattle Egrets in County Cork (6), Devon (4) and Isles of Scilly.

There was no sign of the Ancient Murrelet, reported yesterday at Dawlish Warren, Devon.
