	A Penduline Tit at Strumpshaw Fen RSPB and a Cattle Egret at Cockley Cley (for its second day) were both new in Norfolk and in Lothian a drake King Eider was offshore near Yellow Craig Country Park. In Devon the Penduline Tit was still in Paignton, the adult Red-breasted Goose remained in Hampshire, Great White Egrets lingered in Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk and 19 Cattle Egrets were logged, mainly in Co Cork. Six Green-winged Teals and five Ring-billed Gulls were on show and a lingering Little Auk showed well at Hartlepool Headland.
