	In Cornwall the Pacific Diver remained on the Hayle Estuary but there was no sign of the Pacific Diver seen yesterday in Gloucestershire. Lingering rarities included Wilson's Phalarope (Lothian), Brown Shrike (Surrey), Red-rumped Swallow (Borders), Spotted Sandpiper (Essex) and Ferruginous Duck (Somerset). In Ireland an American Herring Gull was discovered in Co Kerry, the Glaucous-winged Gull (or hybrid) lingered in Co Sligo and in Co Waterford the Lesser Yellowlegs was still on show. Glossy Ibises were recorded in Kent and Worcestershire, Cattle Egrets were seen in Kent and Gwynedd and Great White Egrets were in Kent, Devon, Warwickshire, Moray and Dorset.
