On Shetland, two more Hornemann's Arctic Redpolls were found on Foula, Shetland, with an Arctic Warbler on Yell, whilst on Fetlar the Taiga Flycatcher remained all day, and, nearby, the Sandhill Crane was still present on Orkney.

A Blue-winged Teal was at Weston-super-Mare sewage works, Somerset this afternoon, with other new arrivals including a Long-billed Dowitcher and Great White Egret in County Galway, another of the latter in Dorset and a Glossy Ibis in West Sussex.
