  In Greater Manchester the showy Pied-billed Grebe continued to attract crowds to Hollingworth Lake throughout the day. In Devon the American Robin lingered at Exminster.

Elsewhere rarities included Squacco Herons in Northumberland and Pembrokeshire, Dusky Warbler on Isles of Scilly, Ferruginous Ducks in Somerset, Ross's Goose in Northumberland, Green Heron in Cornwall, King Eider in Moray and Glossy Ibises in Devon.

In Ireland the Northern Harrier remained in Co Wexford.

Waxwings were again widespread, with the largest flock (at least 250) recorded in Carlisle (Cumbria).
