	A first-winter American Herring Gull spent its second day at Newlyn Harbour, Cornwall. There was late news of an Eyebrowed Thrush in east Kent from mid-January to early February. The Northern Mockingbird continued its stay in Devon, while other rarities still present included the Pied-billed Grebe in Lancashire, Pacific Diver in Co.Mayo, all three Penduline Tits in Somerset, Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon, Dusky Warbler in Merseyside and White-billed Diver in Shetland.  Among the other highlights from the day's birding were Great Grey Shrike (Derbyshire), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Taiga Bean Goose (Suffolk), Black Brant (East Yorkshire), two Yellow-browed Warblers and Todd's Canada Geese; three Little Buntings, Green-winged Teal and Glossy Ibises; four Ring-billed Gulls and 15 Ring-necked Ducks.
