	Following reports of a Snowy Owl near King's Lynn on 5th March and Heacham the following day, it finally gave itself up on Scolt Head Island (Norfolk) today. The bird was twitchable throughout the afternoon. Elsewhere new discoveries comprised a flyby Franklin's Gull in Essex and Gyr in Co Antrim, whilst the Horned Lark (Surrey), Long-billed Dowitcher (Co Wexford) and Bonaparte's Gull (Co Dongegal) all lingered. The best of the rest included Yellow-browed Warbler (South Yorkshire), 12 Parrot Crossbills (Norfolk), Little Buntings (Cornwall and London) and a total of 19 Waxwings.
