	In County Galway, the identification of the juvenile gull at Cleggan has finally settled on Thayer's Gull, potentially the seventh for Ireland and first for County Galway. Wintering rarities seen today included the Black-throated Thrush in North Yorkshire, Little Bunting in Highland, Gyr in Argyll and Black Kite in Powys, whilst scarcities included four Green-winged Teals, three each of Cattle Egret, Great White Egret and Ring-necked Duck and single American Wigeon and Surf Scoter.
