  A Black Kite drifted east over Regent's Park, London this afternoon and on Shetland two White-billed Divers were logged, one in Mousa Sound and another off West Burra. Lingering rarities included King Eiders in Devon and Ayrshire, Black Duck in Pembrokeshire, Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Cornwall and Lesser Scaup in Somerset. A Ross's Goose was in Aberdeenshire for its second day, whilst long-staying Ross's Geese also remained in Lancashire and Norfolk. A total of seventeen Cattle Egrets were reported in southern England.

In Suffolk the White-spotted Bluethroat showed again at Minsmere RSPB, but only until mid morning and in Dorset the Pallas's Warbler continued to sing in Weymouth.

In Ireland, late news from yesterday related to an American Herring Gull on Loop Head, the first for Co.Clare.
