  Red-footed Falcons continued to the most reported rarity today, with birds in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire and Bedfordshire. New rarities included a Savi's Warbler trapped and ringed on Fair Isle, Shetland, a White-winged Black Tern at Hickling Broad NWT, Norfolk, and a Subalpine Warbler on St.Kilda, Western Isles.

A Black Kite was watched for half an hour in Lancashire in the afternoon, and an American Golden Plover was present in County Wicklow. Scarce migrants included an Ortolan Bunting at Land's End, Cornwall, with two Golden Orioles nearby, a Bluethroat still on Inner Farne, Northumberland, Wryneck on North Ronaldsay, Orkney, Short-toed Lark in Yorkshire and Scilly, Red-backed Shrike in Yorkshire and a Tawny Pipit at Waxham, Norfolk.
