  In Co Wexford the Baikal Teal remained at Tacumshin (where the Long-billed Dowitcher, Glossy Ibis and Green-winged Teal all also remained on show). Elsewhere in Ireland the American Eider lingered in Co Donegal and a Forster's Tern was still in Co Galway.

Lingering rarities east of the Irish Sea included Black Kite (Powys), Dusky Warbler (London) and Little Buntings (Highland and Cornwall). Rare wintering wildfowl were represented by two King Eiders in Moray and Lesser Scaups in Cornwall and Glamorgan.

Other reports included four Ring-necked Ducks, four Rough-legged Buzzards, at least three Great White Egrets and single American Wigeon and Greater Snow Goose.
