	A Penduline Tit at Rye Harbour NR, Sussex was a new arrival, but unfortunately it was only seen briefly. Elsewhere, lingering rarities included the Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan, two King Eiders in County Sligo with another bird in Fife and single Lesser Scaups in Nottinghamshire and Glamorgan. Great White Egrets were on the Ouse Washes RSPB, Cambridgeshire and at North Warren RSPB, Suffolk, and Cattle Egrets were present in Cheshire, Suffolk, Pembrokeshire, Devon, Cornwall (13), County Waterford (4) and County Cork (6).
