  The Glaucous-winged Gull performed well again, spending most of the morning on Saltholme Pool, Cleveland, although it was not seen in the afternoon. Other lingering rarities included the Snowy Owl in Cornwall, two Penduline Tits in London, King Eider in Fife, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire and Ferruginous Duck in Lincolnshire. A possible Wilson's Snipe was on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly late morning.

Four Canada Geese forms were seen in Dumfries and Galloway, including Cackling, Richardson's and Taverner's. Cattle Egrets remained in Devon, Cornwall, Isles of Scilly, Somerset, County Waterford, County Cork and County Wexford, totalling at least 29 birds.
