  The two most notable discoveries today were both North American gulls on the Western Isles; a Bonaparte's Gull on South Uist and and an American Herring Gull on Benbecula. In Devon an Alpine Swift was seen over Dartmoor in the early afternoon.

In Norfolk the Little Bittern remained at Titchwell where, although elusive, it showed well several times during the day. In Cumbria the Hudsonian Whimbrel was seen again on Walney Island and in adjacent Lancashire the Glossy Ibis remained at Newton Marsh.

In Kent the Great Reed Warbler continued to sing near Lydd whilst in Dorset a Red-breasted Flycatcher on Portland was another notable south coast passerine.
