  In London, a belated report concerned an adult Whiskered Tern, seen on the outfall at Cross Ness LNR early morning before flying east.

In Staffordshire, the adult Franklin's Gull reappeared at Chasewater briefly, before flying east, and the worn first-summer American Herring Gull was still at Blennerville, County Kerry. The King Eider remained off Filey, North Yorkshire, and another possible Yelkouan Shearwater flew past Gwennap Head, Cornwall.

Scarcity highlights included Common Rosefinch on Fair Isle, Shetland, White-spotted Bluethroat in Norfolk, Grey Phalarope on Lewis, Western Isles, two Ring-necked Ducks in Fife, Purple Heron in Kent, Great White Egrets in Kent and Somerset, Pectoral Sandpipers in Norfolk (2) and Northamptonshire and Caspian Gull in Devon.
