Lingering rarities included the King Eider in North Yorkshire, American Herring Gull in Co Kerry, Glossy Ibis in Co Wexford and Laughing Gull in Co Antrim whilst in Norfolk a probable Wilson's Petrel was observed off Sheringham and Cley.

In Somerset a couple of sightings of a juvenile Little Bittern at Ham Wall RSPB confirmed that the species has successfully bred in Britain for the first time since 1984,  when a pair raised three young at Potteric Carr YWT (South Yorkshire).

In Angus a Surf Scoter was in Lunan Bay, a Pectoral Sandpiper was at Titchwell RSPB (Norfolk) and in Kent at least one Purple Heron and the Great White Egret lingered at Dungeness RSPB.
