  The highlight of the day was a Glossy Ibis present throughout the afternoon and evening at Rutland Water, Leicestershire. Elsewhere, a Red-rumped Swallow showed in Norfolk over Salthouse, a Black Kite and three Subalpine Warblers were logged around the Shetland Isles, whilst brief encounters included an Ortolan Bunting in London and a Bee-eater on the Isle of Wight.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised a Collared Flycatcher on the Shetland Isles, Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, Iberian Chiffchaff in Lancashire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Cornwall and Devon, Subalpine Warbler in East Yorkshire, American Golden Plover in Cornwall, and single White-billed Divers in Moray and the Western Isles.
