	In Cornwall, the adult Gyr remained at Newquay, being seen briefly late morning and then again for a few minutes this evening. There was no sign of either the Snowy Owl, Western Subalpine Warbler or the Great Spotted Cuckoo in the county, although the six Cattle Egrets were still near Sennen. In Highland, the White-billed Diver was seen distantly on Little Loch Broom. Also in Scotland, the adult Bonaparte's Gull reappeared on South Uist, whilst the Great White Egret was still in Clyde. The Gyr was seen again yesterday on Islay, Argyll. Another Great White Egret was seen in Kent, over Sandwich Bay and Pegwell Bay, and other Cattle Egrets remained in Warwickshire and Cheshire. The Lesser Scaup was at Holme Pierrepont, Nottinghamshire, and the Ferruginous Duck was at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset.
