	In Cornwall, the diver lingering offshore at Marazion for the last three days was confirmed as a Pacific Diver. Although no age has been given, it must be assumed that this is the returning adult from 2009. In Norfolk, the adult Lesser White-fronted Goose remained with the Taiga Bean Geese at Cantley Marshes RSPB, whilst the Northern Harrier was still at Thornham Point. Two Coues's Arctic Redpolls were seen at Rainton Meadows DWT, County Durham, amongst a varied flock of around 40 Mealy Redpolls. In Berkshire, the Glossy Ibis reappeared near Hungerford, and the Blue-winged Teal remained at North Bull Island, County Dublin. Scarcity highlghts included a Ring-necked Duck, a Green-winged Teal, four Rough-legged Buzzards and five Great White Egrets, including four together in Somerset.
