  A Gyr on Coll, Argyll was the only new rarity discovered today, although a pipit sp photographed at Fresh Water West, Pembrokeshire may well turn out to be a Blyth's Pipit.

In Norfolk, the adult Ross's Goose remained in the Horsey area, whilst the Long-billed Dowitcher was still at Lodmoor RSPB, Dorset, the Glossy Ibis at Budleigh Salterton, Devon and Lesser Scaup at Holm, Orkney.

Scarcities included a Night Heron in Cambridgeshire, a Grey Phalarope in Lothian, a Common Rosefinch in Gwynedd, two Rough-legged Buzzards, two Pomarine Skuas and lots of Waxwings.
