Saturday 4th December 2010  
  In Kent, a Penduline Tit was once again in front of the Hanson Hide at Dungeness RSPB, the first sighting here since 27th October. A Glossy Ibis flew over near Axbridge, Somerset and a Northern Long-tailed Tit was seen at Sculthorpe Moor, Norfolk, having been present for several days.

Other lingering rarities included Blue-winged Teals in Dumfries and Galloway and County Dublin, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, House Crow in County Cork, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Cambridgeshire, Glossy Ibis in Devon, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset and Lesser Scaups in Orkney and Glamorgan.

Apart from Waxwings, the National channel was fairly quiet, with highlights being a Surf Scoter, a Yellow-browed Warbler, a Great Grey Shrike, at least three Rough-legged Buzzards and four Grey Phalaropes.

A Turtle Dove remained in a garden in Cornwall, as did the Chough in the Isle of Wight, whilst two Eider were seen in Berkshire.
