  An adult Pacific Golden Plover was found this evening at East Chevington NWT, Northumberland, where it showed well until at least 7.50pm. Further south, a female Red-footed Falcon was rather less obliging in Suffolk, seen for just a couple of minutes at Loompit Lake, Trimley St Martin. A Cattle Egret was reported from Middleton Hall, Warwickshire.

In Cambridgeshire, the adult White-winged Black Tern remained at Fen Drayton Lakes all day, although it could prove quite mobile. In Scotland, both the Stilt Sandpiper and River Warbler were present in Aberdeenshire and Highland respectively, and in Somerset the Little Bittern was heard singing again early morning. The Ferruginous Duck remained nearby at Chew Valley lake, and a Great White Egret was seen in Suffolk.
