	In Cornwall a second-winter Audouin's Gull flew through Mount's Bay (Cornwall) today.   The American Bittern remained at Carlton Marshes SWT (Suffolk) for its second day, whilst a Snowy Owl (Ceredigion), Iberian Chiffchaff (Cornwall), two Black-winged Stilts and Savi's Warbler (East Sussex) and two White-billed Divers (Moray) were also recorded. Lingering rarities comprised Alpine Swift (Cornwall), a gathering of 24 White-billed Divers (Aberdeenshire), lone White-billed Divers (Western Isles and Orkney), American Herring Gull (Co Clare), King Eider (Co Cork), Bonaparte's Gull (Dorset), American White-winged Scoter (Lothian), Long-billed Dowitcher (Kent), Black Scoter (Northumberland), Horned Lark (Surrey), and Coues's Arctic Redpolls (Norfolk [3] and Suffolk). The best of the rest included up to eight Hoopoes, two Serins (Essex) and two Shorelarks (Lincolnshire).
