  Once again Yorkshire dominated the headlines with the both the Pacific Diver at Farnham and American Robin at Bingley showing well throughout the day. The Gyr was seen again near Padstow, Cornwall and the Black-throated Thrush remained on the Isle of Bute, Argyll but both birds proved very elusive today.

Two White-billed Divers at Kirkabister, Shetland Isles was a new discovery, as was a Bonaparte's Gull on the Otter Estuary, Devon.

Elsewhere, the Black-eared Kite remained at Snettisham, Norfolk as did the Bufflehead in Co Clare, Forster's Tern in Co Cork, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Lesser Yellowlegs in Norfolk and Long-billed Dowitchers in Kent and Co Louth.
