  The only new rarities today were American Golden Plovers, with one at Sennen, Cornwall all day and two together on Lewis, Western Isles. Late news concerned a Coues's Arctic Redpoll yesterday at Woodwalton Fen NNR, Cambridgeshire, which had been present for several days.

In Greater Manchester, the Pied-billed Grebe continued to show well, as did the American Robin at Exminster, Devon. Other lingering rarities included Green Heron in Cornwall, single Squacco Herons in Pembrokeshire and Northumberland, American Buff-bellied Pipit in County Waterford, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, House Crow and Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Cork, King Eider in Suffolk, Dusky Warbler in Isles of Scilly and Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon.

Scarcity highlights were a Richard's Pipit in Derbyshire, a Serin in Shetland, a Sabine's Gull in County Cork, two Yellow-browed Warbler, seven Grey Phalaropes, seven Rough-legged Buzzards and 11 Great Grey Shrikes.
