	In Cornwall a second-winter Azorean Yellow-legged Gull was identified near St Just this afternoon. In Northumberland a Coues's Arctic Redpoll was discovered at Swallow Pond. Lingering rarities included Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and Cornwall, Northern Harrier and Ross's Goose in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset and at least one Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Co Durham. In Cornwall the Rose-coloured Starling was still in Penzance and a Cattle Egret lingered in St Winnow, the White-tailed Eagle was seen again in Hampshire, and three Ring-necked Ducks, three Rough-legged Buzzards and two Great White Egrets were also recorded. Late news from yesterday related to a Black Kite on Tory Island, Co Donegal.
