| The highlight of the day was the early afternoon discovery of a Terek Sandpiper at Hauxley, Northumberland, where it remained into the evening. Elsewhere, a
Thrush Nightingale arrived on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles, a Red-rumped Swallow lingered in East Sussex at Cuckmere Haven, and
single Black Kites were seen briefly in both East Yorkshire and the Orkney Isles. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Broad-billed Sandpiper in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in Gwynedd, Savi's Warbler in Dorset, Bee-eater in Highland, and American Golden Plover in County Wexford. Scarcities included Red-necked Phalarope (Worcestershire), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (County Wexford), Purple Heron (Suffolk and West Yorkshire), American Wigeon (Shetland Isles), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Pectoral Sandpiper (Aberdeenshire and County Wexford) and five Red-backed Shrikes. |
