  Highlights included the Penduline Tit at Attenborough NR, Nottinghamshire, Desert Wheatear at Girdle Ness, Aberdeenshire, Spotted Sandpiper at Tittesworth Reservoir, Staffordshire and Long-billed Dowitcher in Dundalk Docks, Co Louth. New discoveries included Staffordshire's second Cattle Egret at Barton-under-Needwood; two more Cattle Egrets remained in Cumbria.

Lesser Scaups were logged in Nottinghamshire, Cornwall, Gloucestershire and Co Down, the Red-breasted Goose remained in Hampshire, a Great White Egret was still in Greater Manchester, the Red-breasted Flycatcher was again noted in Bedfordshire and large numbers of Waxwings continued to attract plenty of attention.
