  In Central Norfolk, the adult Lesser White-fronted Goose remained with the flock of Taiga Bean Geese, being seen briefly mid afternoon before flying out of view again. In North Norfolk, the juvenile male Northern Harrier was seen again at Thornham Marsh mid morning. On the south coast, the Long-billed Dowitcher was at Lodmoor RSPB, Dorset, and both the Glossy Ibis and possible Eastern Yellow Wagtail remained in Devon.

Scarcity highlights included a Grey Phalarope, a Surf Scoter, two Rough-legged Buzzards, two Great Grey Shrikes and two Ring-billed Gulls.

The highest count of Waxwing was a flock of over 1,400 at Pegwell Bay, Kent.
