  The apparent Glaucous-winged Gull remained at Beddington sewage farm, London.

A Red-footed Falcon in Suffolk was only the second reported in the county, and the country, this year. Another Subalpine Warbler was discovered, this time on Shetland, whilst Black Kites were over St Margaret's at Cliffe and Westenhanger, both Kent. The presumably returning Forster's Tern was found at Tacumshin, County Wexford, whilst a drake Blue-winged Teal was on Reddan's Lough, County Tipperary.

In Essex, the Lesser Yellowlegs remained on the Blackwater Estuary, and Lesser Scaups were still in both Glamorgan and Yorkshire. Great White Egrets were in London and Essex, and a Cattle Egret was in Cornwall.
