	Apart from a new Glossy Ibis near Montgomery, Powys, sightings today were similar to the last few days. Highlights included the Common Yellowthroat in Gwent (which remained for its 8th twitchable day, raising the hopes of the second batch of potential weekend visitors), Paddyfield Warbler in Sussex, Bufflehead in Cornwall and Bonaparte's Gull in County Antrim. Other lingering rarities included single Red-breasted Geese in Suffolk, Essex and Dumfries and Galloway, single Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and Gloucestershire and single Glossy Ibises in Suffolk, Dorset and Glamorgan, with three in Pembrokeshire.
