  A Red-rumped Swallow in Cleveland and a probable Blyth's Pipit on Isles of Scilly were today's main new discoveries. Lingering highlights included Ross's Gull and Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Lesser Yellowlegs in East Yorkshire, Black Duck in Pembrokeshire and Little Crake in Devon.

A singing Little Bunting was at Dungeness, but only briefly early morning, the Pallas's Warbler remained in Cornwall and a few Hoopoes, Wrynecks, Dotterels, Great Grey Shrikes and Common Cranes were also on offer. At least twenty one Cattle Egrets were still on show, mainly in southern Britain.

In Ireland a Bonaparte's Gull remained in Co Kerry and the juvenile American Herring Gull was still in Galway.
