  Another new Cattle Egret was found today, in Gloucestershire, making the total of the day seven birds in the south-west. An American Golden Plover in County Cork was the only other new rarity.

Lingering rarities included both Desert Wheatears in Yorkshire and Norfolk, and the female King Eider returned to join the drake at Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire. The Bonaparte's Gull remained nearby, at Peterhead, with another at Ferryden, Angus. The Lesser Scaup was still in Warwickshire, and Spotted Sandpiper and Great White Egret were both still available.
