  In West Yorkshire, a Coues's Arctic Redpoll was found at Fairburn Ings RSPB, but none of the other wintering birds were reported.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present included Lesser White-fronted Goose and Northern Harrier in Norfolk, Pacific Diver in Cornwall, House Crow in County Cork, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, all five Northern Long-taailed Tits in Kent, Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire and Richardson's Canada Goose in Argyll.

Scarcity highlights included an unseasonal Great Shearwater off Flamborough, East Yorkshire, a probable eastern form Lesser Whitethroat in County Louth and a flock of six Great White Egrets in Somerset.
