  An Olive-backed Pipit spent a couple of hours on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly, this afternoon, before flying south-east. On the same island, the Grey-cheeked Thrush remained, still showing well, although the Sociable Plover appears to have departed from St Mary's.

A Baird's Sandpiper was seen briefly in Somerset, at Burnham-on-Sea, and a Lesser Scaup was at Hogganfield Loch, Clyde, present for its second day. Both the Cackling Canada Goose and the Taverner's Canada Goose were at Caerlaverock WWT, Dumfries and Galloway, whilst both Siberian Stonechat and Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll were still on Shetland. The Forster's Tern was seen again in County Louth, and the King Eider remained in Devon.
