  In Cleveland the Terek Sandpiper reappeared at Saltholme Pools early afternoon, before relocating to nearby Seal Sands later in the day. The adult summer White-billed Diver continued to show well on Orkney, the King Eider was still at Tacumshin, Co Wexford, as was the Lesser Yellowlegs in Southwold, Suffolk and Glossy Ibis in Merseyside. A probable drake Canvasback at Hornsea Mere, East Yorkshire, will be popular if the identification firms up.

A Woodchat Shrike was discovered on Two Tree Island, Essex and in East Yorkshire a Shorelark at Easington was a summer rarity. The Common Rosefinch was still at the Real Food Cafe in Forth and a Pectoral Sandpiper made an appearance at Elmley RSPB, Kent.
