  In Ireland a Fea's Petrel flew past Kilcummin Head, County Mayo, the Wilson's Phalarope was still on Belfast Lough RSPB, County Down and the Black Kite was again over South Slobs, County Wexford.

In Gwent, the Aquatic Warbler was still at Uskmouth NR, but continued to be very elusive. The Spotted Sandpiper was still on St.Mary's, Isles of Scilly and in Somerset both the Great White Egret and Ferruginous Duck remained. The long staying Great White Egret was still at Leighton Moss, Lancashire.

Scarcities included the Barred Warbler at Winterton, Norfolk, which showed very well for much of the day, a returning drake American Wigeon in Pembrokeshire at Angle Bay, Spotted Crakes at Farlington Marshes, Hampshire and Ladywalk NR, Warwickshire, several Pectoral Sandpipers and a reasonable showing of seabirds in the north.
