  The highlight of the day was the discovery of two Penduline Tits together at Minsmere, Suffolk. In Dumfries and Galloway a Lesser Scaup was identified at Castle Loch, Lochmaben.

Lingering rarities included the White-crowned Sparrow in Norfolk, Wilson's Snipe on the Isles of Scilly, Hume’s Yellow-browed Warbler in Cleveland, Forster's Tern in County Down, Glossy Ibis in Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaup in Warwickshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Angus, Great White Egret in Wiltshire and both King Eider and Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon.

Cattle Egret reports comprised six in Cornwall, two each in both Dorset and West Sussex and singles in Cheshire, County Cork and Devon.
