  A few more classic Spring rarities today included single Black Kites in East Sussex, Somerset and Devon, a Bee-eater in Cornwall and two more Red-rumped Swallows in East Sussex. Other Red-rumped Swallows were still present in South Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

Other lingering rarities included Iberian Chiffchaff in Kent, Blue-winged Teal in North Yorkshire and White-billed Diver in Moray.

Scarcities were headlined by White-spotted Bluethroat in Norfolk, two Purple Herons in Kent, Hoopoes in West Midlands, Gwent, Cleveland and Scilly, Wryneck in Pembrokeshire, Red-backed Shrike in Gloucestershire, Woodchat Shrike in Norfolk, Kentish Plover in Glamorgan and Short-toed Larks in Scilly and County Cork.
