	Another new Gyr was found today, once again a juvenile white morph, this time on The Mullet, County Mayo. Still on the raptor theme, a Black Kite was reported from Blubberhouses, North Yorkshire at midday. American Herring Gulls were seen in Devon and County Galway, with the Forster's Tern also in the latter county. The adult Bonaparte's Gull remained in Cardiff, Glamorgan, as did the Lesser Scaup. The Long-billed Dowitcher in County Louth was seen again, as was the King Eider in Fife. Cattle Egrets remained in County Cork, Pembrokeshire, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Suffolk and Devon, and the Great White Egret was seen again in Clyde.
