	The identification of a female Bufflehead was confirmed at Trimley Marshes SWT, Suffolk today, after being first found on Saturday. It is not known whether she has a green ring on her left leg (which the recent wandering escape wears), and could become the third record for the county if she doesn't. At least four Wilson's Petrels were seen from a boat off Galley Head, County Cork, together with five Great Shearwaters and 11 Cory's Shearwaters. Lingering rarities seen today included the Collared Pratincole and at least one Black-winged Stilt in Suffolk, the family of five Black-winged Stilts in Sussex, the Ross's Gull in Devon and the Bonaparte's Gull in Kent.
