  The adult drake King Eider returned to Uisaed Point, Argyll today. A new Cattle Egret was found in Glamorgan, with the elusive Great White Egret on the north Norfolk coast being seen briefly at Thornham. Elsewhere, at least 22 other Cattle Egrets remained, along with another two Great White Egrets.

The King Eider was still in Devon at Northam Burrows Country park, and the White-crowned Sparrow continued its long stay at Cley, Norfolk, with a Ross's Goose nearby at Holkham Freshmarsh.

Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers were seen in Cornwall and Cleveland, Lesser Scaups were seen in Wiltshire, Warwickshire and on Western Isles and the Glossy Ibis remained in Lincolnshire. In Ireland, the adult Forster's Tern was seen at Killyleigh and Galway.
