  Three more Alpine Swifts were discovered today, with one briefly near Upper Beading, West Sussex and two in Cornwall, at Penzance and St Just. Both Norfolk birds were seen again, with one lingering over Hunstanton for much of the day, and one leaving its roost at Cromer and flying east along the coast, before being seen for an hour at Great Yarmouth.

Three Penduline Tits were seen at Dungeness RSPB, Kent, whilst lingering rarities included Bufflehead in Dorset, Little Bunting in Highland, King Eider in Moray and Lesser Scaup in Clyde.

Scarcities included a Purple Heron, six Hoopoes, a Surf Scoter, three Ring-necked Ducks, two American Wigeons, three Green-winged Teals, six Snow Geese, six Great White Egrets, 14 Shorelarks, five Ring-billed Gulls, a Rough-legged Buzzard and a Great Grey Shrike.
