	A female Black-throated Thrush was discovered on The Gower, Glamorgan this morning, but it could not be found later in the day. Lingering rarities included Black Duck (Isles of Scilly), Little Bunting (Highland), Ferruginous Duck (Berkshire), Black Kite (Powys), Spotted Sandpiper (Devon), Baird's Sandpiper (Lothian) and Lesser Scaup (Glamorgan). The best of the rest comprised Ring-necked Duck and Great White Egret (Lancashire), Serin (London), two Cattle Egrets (Somerset) and Surf Scoter (Fife).
