  The most popular bird of the day was probably the male Citrine Wagtail in Norfolk, which spent much of the day in a field at East Runton, where it usually showed very well. Other quality rarities discovered today included a Collared Pratincole at Spurn, Yorkshire, a Savi's Warbler trapped at Slapton, Devon and a Black Stork over Beeley Moor, Derbyshire.

More regular Spring rarities included a Black Kite in Kent, single Subalpine Warblers in Devon, Dorset and Shetland and a Bee-eater in Cornwall.

Lingering rarities included Black Scoter in Northumberland, Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, House Crow in County Cork, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Lesser Yellowlegs in Somerset, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, White-billed Divers in Moray, Highland and County Wexford, Black Kite in Lincolnshire and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire.
