	On the Isles of Scilly, the juvenile Gyr once again toured the islands, being present on St Mary's, Bryher and Tresco. Further possible Gyrs were reported from Norfolk and Cornwall. Single American Herring Gulls were still present in Devon and County Galway, and the Ivory Gull remained in County Cork. King Eiders were in Fife and County Sligo (2), with other rare wildfowl consisting of Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire and Ferruginous Duck in Surrey. A White-billed Diver was seen on Mull, Argyll, and the Red-breasted Goose was still at East Head, Sussex. Good numbers of Cattle Egrets and Great White Egrets were still present around the country.
