  In Kent, Dungeness continued to host the White-tailed Plover, Great White Egret and Purple Herons. The female Little Bittern was seen again at Ham Wall RSPB, Somerset, whilst the first-summer drake King Eider remained off Filey Brigg, North Yorkshire.

In Ireland, the adult Semipalmated Sandpiper moved to Tacumshin, County Wexford, whilst the adult Terek Sandpiper remained at Blennerville, County Kerry, as did the second-summer Laughing Gull at Ballycastle, County Antrim.

Scarcity highlights included Buff-breasted and Pectoral Sandpipers in Norfolk, Glaucous Gull in Yorkshire and good numbers of Spoonbills in several counties.
