  The seventh King Eider for Norfolk was found at Sheringham mid morning, lingering offshore all day between here and West Runton. It is likely that this is the same individual seen in Yorkshire recently.

The only other rarities seen today were the Glossy Ibis at Tacumshin, County Wexford, and Ferruginous Duck at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk.

Scarcity highlights included Sabine's Gull in Warwickshire, Purple Herons in Kent and Northamptonshire, Cattle Egret in Staffordshire and good numbers off Balearic Shearwaters, Roseate Terns and Spoonbills.
