	In Cornwall, the Great Spotted Cuckoo was reported briefly in the Cot Valley, although extensive searching by a good number of other observer's failed to relocate it. The Black-winged Stilt remained on Cape Clear Island, County Cork. Long staying rarities seen today included the Penduline Tit in Devon, Bonaparte's Gull and Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. A Great White Egret was in Somerset, while Cattle Egrets were in Cheshire, Cornwall, Devon, Suffolk, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
