  The male BLACK LARK remained in Winterton North Dunes, Norfolk for its second day, but it was only available until 7.02am when it disappeared and was not seen again. A Hoopoe and Wryneck were little consolation to those who arrived too late.

In Lancashire the Ross's Gull continued to show extremely well in Lytham St Anne's and the long-staying Glossy Ibis was also still just a few miles up the road at Warton Bank. In Devon the Little Crake remained at Exminster Marshes RSPB, the Franklin's Gull again roosted at Draycote Water, Warwickshire and Lesser Yellowlegs in West Sussex and Cambridgeshire, Bonaparte's Gull on South Uist, White-billed Diver on Lewis, King Eider in Devon, Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan and several Cattle Egrets were all still available.

Black Kites were observed in Warwickshire, Suffolk, Cheshire and Norfolk

In Ireland the Subalpine Warbler remained in Co Wexford, a Bonaparte's Gull was in Co Kerry and a Long-billed Dowitcher was located in Co Clare.
