  A Wilson's Phalarope in Cleveland was probably the highlight today, with a fairly dull adult spending some of the evening in the Greatham Creek /Seal Sands area. A Citrine Wagtail was a new arrival on Fair Isle, Shetland (where the Pallid Harrier and Greenish Warbler both remained). Late news concerned the confirmation of an adult Sooty Tern, which flew south past Kessingland, Suffolk on Wednesday.

Lingering rarities included the Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire, Blue-winged Teal in Cleveland, Semipalmated Sandpiper in County Kerry, White-rumped Sandpiper in Norfolk, American Golden Plover in County Clare, Black Kite in Cornwall, Bonaparte's Gull in County Durham and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset.
