	A Penduline Tit was discovered in Paignton, Devon, whilst in London the pair of Penduline Tits remained at Rainham Marshes RSPB. In addition to the Penduline Tits, the Snowy Owl in Cornwall, Cattle Egrets in Cornwall (4) and Isles of Scilly, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, King Eider in Fife and Ferruginous Duck in Lincolnshire were the headline rarities. The Night Heron was still in Kent, the American Wigeon showed again in Berkshire and three Green-winged Teals and a couple of Rough-legged Buzzards were logged. Poor photos of a reported Dusky Thrush in Gloucestershire appeared to show a Redwing, and the Canvasback in Derbyshire is thought to be an escape.
