| The Glaucous-winged Gull made another appearance in Cleveland being seen intermittently throughout the day at Saltholme Pools and Dorman's Pool. Other lingering rarities confirmed as still present today included two Penduline Tits in London, American Herring Gull in County Cork, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire, King Eiders in Fife and County Sligo (2), single Great White Egrets in Hampshire and Somerset, Ferruginous Duck in Lincolnshire, Cackling Canada Goose in Dumfries and Galloway and Hooded Merganser in Dorset.
