Tuesday 23rd January 2007  
  Interest was maintained by many long-staying rarities including the Black-eared Kite and Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk, Bufflehead in Co Clare, Penduline Tit in London, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Bonaparte's Gull in Angus, Red-breasted Goose in Lincolnshire and Lesser Scaup in Oxfordshire.

More Iceland Gulls and Glaucous Gulls were seen, perhaps associated with same northerly winds that produced a trickle of Little Auks and a few Blue Fulmars along the English east coast.

  Although there were no new discoveries reported today, a Great White Egret at Walberswick, Suffolk showed for the first time in a week and interest was maintained by the continued presence of several rarities. The Black-eared Kite remained around Snettisham, Norfolk, as did the Barrow's Goldeneye in Callander, Forth. The Lesser Yellowlegs continued to show well at Thornham Harbour, Norfolk and likewise the Spotted Sandpiper on the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher at Oare Marshes, Kent and Cattle Egret at Otterton, Devon.

More northern white-winged gulls were reported with peak counts of Iceland Gulls including 15 on the Shetland Isles and 12 at Galway, Co Galway, with the fourth-winter American Herring Gull remaining at the latter site alongside four adult Ring-billed Gulls and two Glaucous Gulls.
