	After being seen briefly yesterday evening, the identity of the returning Pacific Diver to Llys-y-Fran Reservoir, Pembrokeshire was confirmed this morning, although it wasn't seen after 8am. Another possible Pacific Diver was seen again off St Mary's, Isles of Scilly. A second Penduline Tit joined the long staying bird at Strumpshaw Fen RSPB, Norfolk, with the Devon bird still in place near Paignton. The Snowy Owl remained on Amalveor Downs, Cornwall, with other lingering rarities including Lesser Yellowlegs in Suffolk, Black-bellied Dipper in Norfolk, Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex. Great White Egrets were in Suffolk (2) and Somerset, and Cattle Egrets were in Devon (7), Cornwall (2) and County Cork (5).
