Saturday 7th February 2009  
  An adult Bonaparte's Gull was seen briefly at Ferryden, Angus, but could not be found later. Also in Scotland, a Great White Egret was in the Motherwell area of Clyde, being last seen at Baron's Haugh RSPB. The drake King Eider was again present at North Berwick, Lothian, and at least one Lesser Scaup was still on Loch Leven, Perth and Kinross.

Four Penduline Tits were seen, at Strumpshaw Fen RSPB, Norfolk, Clennon Valley, Devon and two at Rainham Marshes RSPB, London. The Forster's Tern remained at Nimmo's Pier, County Galway, along with large numbers of nearctic gulls. County Sligo held the two King Eiders, and County Louth the Long-billed Dowitcher, whilst several Cattle Egrets were seen around the country. The Lesser Yellowlegs was at Walberswick, Suffolk.
