  As would normally be expected inĀ  for a weekday in late December there were no new true rarities, although a Snow Goose was found in Aberdeenshire and the White-rumped Sandpiper was seen again in Norfolk.

The majority of rarities from previous days were seen again including the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Aberdeenshire, the Ivory Gull in Ayrshire and the Ross's Gull in Argyll. Other rarities which also continued included the Bonaparte's Gull on Scilly and the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall. However there were no sightings of the Black-eared Kite in Norfolk nor of the incredibly long-staying Little Auk at Snettisham.
