	At Nimmo's Pier, County Galway, the American Herring Gull was seen again, along with good numbers of other quality gulls. The Snowy Owl remained in Cornwall, as did single King Eiders in East Yorkshire and Fife, Penduline Tit in Devon and Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire. Cattle Egrets were present in Pembrokeshire, Norfolk, Cornwall, Devon, Isles of Scilly, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight, whilst a Great White Egret was still in Cambridgeshire. Early migrants included two Sand Martins in Sussex, whilst a House Martin was in Northamptonshire for its second day.
