	In Kent, three Northern Long-tailed Tits were seen this morning at Dymchurch, with one apparently being present since late November 2010. Further north, another Coues's Arctic Redpoll was in the Lammermuir Hills, on the Borders /Lothian border near Whiteadder Reservoir. Lingering rarities included the Pacific Diver at Marazion, Cornwall, Northern Harriers in Norfolk and County Wexford, Long-billed Dowitcher at Lodmoor, Dorset, King Eider at Burghead, Moray, Glossy Ibis at Hungerford, Berkshire, Lesser Scaups in Gloucestershire and South Yorkshire and two Coues's Arctic Redpolls at Rainton, County Durham. Scarcity highlights included a White-tailed Eagle in Hampshire, an American Wigeon in Norfolk, a Green-winged Teal in Cheshire, a Snow Goose in County Mayo, a Surf Scoter and two Pomarine Skuas in Devon, two Rough-legged Buzzards, four Great Grey Shrikes, four Ring-billed Gulls and six Great White Egrets.
