  The highlight of the day was the relocation of the Black Duck in Highland at Loch Sunart; near where it had first been seen on 6th June.

Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the American White-winged Scoter still with three Surf Scoters and a King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Blue-winged Teal in Somerset, Red-footed Falcon in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly, and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk.

Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Devon), Common Rosefinch (Gwent), Serin (Dorset), White-tailed Eagle (Lincolnshire), Ring-billed Gull (County Antrim), Red-necked Phalarope (Orkney Isles), and Great White Egret (Kent).
