  In Cornwall, the Great Spotted Cuckoo was relocated on Bartinney Downs, near St Just this evening. The Snowy Owl was seen on Trendrine Hill, Zennor at midday, before it moved to the moors just south of Sennen Cove this afternoon. A Gyr was reported over Newquay mid morning, and there were still at least 15 Cattle Egrets in the county.

In Devon, the Penduline Tit continued to sing at Youngs Waterpark, with other lingering rarities including Gyr in County Mayo, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset and Lesser Scaup in Nottinghamshire.

The Blue-winged Teal remained in County Clare, whilst other Cattle Egrets were in Warwickshire, Pembrokeshire and on the Isles of Scilly. Great White Egrets were in Clyde, County Cork and Lancashire.
