Thursday 5th March 2009  
  The star bird today must be the juvenile Gyr on the Isles of Scilly, watched for almost an hour at very close range, feeding on a domestic duck on a lawn. In County Galway, the adult Forster's Tern reappeared at Claddagh Beach, Galway, after an absence of almost a month. Also in Ireland, the juvenile Ivory Gull continued to show well at Baltimore, County Cork.

In Norfolk, the Black-bellied Dipper put on its best show yet, remaining at Hunworth all day. The Siberian Thrush nearby at Glandford was not located, so the Dipper provided a welcome distraction. Other lingering rarities included Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire, Red-breasted Goose in Sussex and several Cattle Egrets and Great White Egrets.
