  The main news today concerned the two Pacific Divers, the juvenile at Llys-y-Fran Reservoir in Pembrokeshire and the adult at Penzance in Cornwall, which both remained and continued to attract interest.

In Scotland an untagged immature White-tailed Eagle was at Loch of Strathbeg RSPB reserve in Aberdeenshire until early afternoon when it flew south, and in Argyll the Ross's Gull was still at Loch Fyne and the Black-throated Thrush remained on Bute, whilst in Ireland, in County Kerry, the drake Black Duck was found again at Ventry Harbour. The juvenile Black-eared Kite was still to be seen to the south of Snettisham RSPB reserve in Norfolk and the two Snowy Owls remained on Lewis in the Western Isles along with the two Lesser Scaup on Benbecula.
