  Lingering rarities confirmed as still present today comprised the Bufflehead in Dorset, Pied-billed Grebe in County Clare and Hooded Merganser in Cleveland, with in Glamorgan a Bonaparte's Gull and two Lesser Scaups, and in Highland a Bonaparte's Gull and a Little Bunting.

Scarcities included 18 Waxwings across three counties, six Glaucous Gulls, four each of Ring-necked Duck and Iceland Gull, three each of Ring-billed Gull, Great Grey Shrike and Caspian Gull, two each of American Wigeon, Great White Egret, Green-winged Teal (County Clare) and Shorelark (Norfolk) and singles of Surf Scoter (Conwy), Rough-legged Buzzard (Norfolk) and Black Brant (County Cork).
