  In Pembrokeshire the American Royal Tern was relocated on the Gann Estuary, having last been seen on Anglesey on 11th December. Unfortunately the bird was only present on the Gann for a short period mid morning.

Elsewhere rarity highlights comprised Desert Wheatear (Isles of Scilly), Lesser Yellowlegs (Somerset), Ferruginous Duck (Hampshire), Dusky Warbler (Dorset) and Lesser Scaup (Anglesey).

The best of the rest included Rose-coloured Starling (Derbyshire), White-tailed Eagle (Hampshire), White Stork (Norfolk), two Richard's Pipits, American Wigeons and Rough-legged Buzzards and four Ring-necked Ducks.
