Saturday 12th December 2009  
  With new rarities including just a Great White Egret in Cambridgeshire and late news of a White-billed Diver on Shetland, yesterday, it was down to long staying rarities to provide the highlights. The Long-billed Dowitcher reappeared at Port Carlisle, Cumbria, whilst the Brown Shrike remained on view in Surrey, as did the King Eider in Moray, Spotted Sandpipers in Essex and Devon, Glossy Ibises in Kent (2), Somerset (3) and Worcestershire, Ferruginous Ducks in Somerset and Dorset and Cattle Egrets in Somerset (3) and Kent.

Scarcities included a Balearic Shearwater, Richard's Pipit, Green-winged Teal, two Great Grey Shrikes, Surf Scoter, and Ring-necked Duck.
