Tuesday 8th February 2011  
  The Isle of Lewis in the Western Isles saw the day's main highlights, with a Northern Harrier discovered on the west coast near Brue and the returning male Snowy Owl found again in the same area.

Elsewhere, a Lesser Scaup was seen again at Lough Ennell in County Westmeath and the lingering bird was still at Dozmary Pool in Cornwall. The Long-billed Dowitcher remained in Dorset and at least three Northern Long-tailed Tits were still to be found at Dymchurch in Kent. The Ferruginous Duck was still at Cockshoot Broad in Norfolk and two Coues's Arctic Redpolls were still at Rainton Meadows in County Durham.

In Cornwall the over wintering Rose-coloured Starling remained in Penzance and the Cattle Egret was still by the Fowey Estuary. There was a total of 36 Shorelarks at three sites, but only three Ring-billed Gulls, six Iceland Gulls and two Glaucous Gulls were reported. Two Great White Egrets were seen today along with seven Great Grey Shrikes.
