  The highlights of the day were a mobile adult Bonaparte's Gull at East Chevington and Cresswell, Northumberland and a fine juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper at Keyhaven Marshes, Hampshire. Other Semipalmated Sandpipers remained at Smerwick Harbour, Co Kerry and on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly. Other Scilly rarities included a Subalpine Warbler on Bryher and the White-rumped Sandpiper on Tresco.

In East Anglia the female Red-footed Falcon showed well at Minsmere, Suffolk but a first-winter Citrine Wagtail at Stiffkey Fen, Norfolk only made a brief appearance.
