  The male Little Crake continued to show well in Devon, today, at Exminster Marshes RSPB. New rarities included an adult White-tailed Eagle at Slimbridge WWT for a few minutes mid morning, but it then flew south and was not relocated. A Great White Egret was on Unst, Shetland, with another found in Hertfordshire at Wilstone Reservoir, which was later seen to fly over College Lake, Buckinghamshire.

The Killdeer was refound on Shetland, this time relocating to the Isle of Noss, with other rarities including Bonaparte's Gull on South Uist, Western Isles, Spotted Sandpipers in Forth and Glamorgan, three Black-winged Stilts in Cornwall and Cattle Egrets in Norfolk, Hampshire and Cornwall.
