Tuesday 2nd February 2010  
  There were no new rarities found today, and Ireland held the better of the long staying rarities with the Thayer's Gull remaining in County Galway, the Bonaparte's Gull in County Cork and the Glossy Ibis in County Wexford. On mainland UK, the Spotted Sandpiper was reported again in Devon and the Little Bunting was still in gardens at Dunnet in Highland.

The American Wigeon was still to be found at Castle Loch in Dumfries and Galloway, Ring-necked Ducks were at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire, at Whitlingham near Norwich in Norfolk and at Foxcote Reservoir in Buckinghamshire. The Rose-coloured Starling was still at Kendal in Cumbria and in South Wales the Great White Egret again came in to roost at Hendre Lake in Glamorgan, with the only other Great White Egret reported being at Pymoor in Cambridgeshire. At least one Cattle Egret was still in Cornwall and Ring-billed Gulls could be found in Hampshire and County Kerry, with two in County Limerick.
