  The second Marsh Sandpiper for the Isles of Scilly was discovered this evening, and continued to show well at Porth Hellick until dusk. In County Louth, a Gull-billed Tern was seen off Cooley Point early evening, and two Wilson's Petrels flew past the Bridges of Ross, County Clare.

Lingering rarities included the Pacific Golden Plover at Breydon Water, Norfolk, whilst either a Pacific or American Golden Plover flew south past Southwold, Suffolk, this evening. In Scotland, the Lesser Yellowlegs remained in Lothian, and both the Ferruginous Duck and Ring-necked Duck were still in Fife.
