  A Cattle Egret at Leighton Moss RSPB was an excellent Lancashire discovery and the only new rarity found today. A Lesser Yellowlegs at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk was present for its second day and in neighbouring Norfolk the Lesser Yellowlegs continued to frequent Cley NWT. In Dorset the drake Hooded Merganser was still in Weymouth and the pair of Black-winged Stilts were again at Ashton's Flash, Cheshire.

Five Rose-coloured Starlings included popular birds in Lancashire and Lincolnshire and in Forth the Common Rosefinch was still in Tyndrum. Green-winged Teals were in Cheshire and Cambridgeshire and fourteen Roseate Terns were logged at various sites, including four together in Lincolnshire.
