  A Lesser Yellowlegs was discovered at Inner Marsh Farm RSPB, Cheshire mid morning, where it was present until midday, when it flew high east. In Staffordshire, the adult Franklin's Gull relocated to Gailey Reservoir from late afternoon.

The adult Semipalmated Sandpiper remained at Port Carlisle, Cumbria early morning and again mid evening, with other lingering rarities including American Herring Gull in County Kerry, Whiskered Tern in Cleveland, Laughing Gull in County Antrim, House Finch in Devon and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk.

Scarcity highlights included Pectoral Sandpiper, Purple Heron and Great White Egret in Kent (with another of the latter in Somerset), Cory's Shearwater in Devon and good numbers of Spoonbills, Roseate Terns and Balearic Shearwaters at various sites.
