  A new King Eider was found in St Austell Bay, Cornwall, with others lingering in East Sussex, County Sligo and Fife. New Great White Egrets were in Norfolk and Leicestershire, although only the latter was twitchable, and others remained in Cambridgeshire and Somerset.

The Franklin's Gull was in the Barassie roost, Ayrshire, and the Penduline Tit was still in Devon, Snowy Owl in Cornwall, Long-billed Dowitcher in County Louth, Black-bellied Dipper in Norfolk, Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire and the Ferruginous Duck was still in County Armagh.

Seawatching off St Ives Island, Cornwall produced two possible Yelhouan Shearwaters during the morning.
