  The only potential new rarities today were a very late Alpine Swift reported over Kenfig NR in Glamorgan and a belated report of a White-tailed Eagle yesterday at Hickling in Norfolk. Otherwise, the day was very quiet, with the pick of the long-staying rarities being the drake Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, the first winter drake Falcated Duck in Devon, the Snowy Owl on Lewis and Lesser Scaups in County Dublin and Dumfries and Galloway.

The Long-billed Dowitcher was again on the Alaw Estuary in Anglesey and the unseasonal Dotterel was reported again at Cley in Norfolk. A notable number of Great Northern Divers were at inland waters.
