  A Western Bonelli's Warbler at Dungeness, Kent remained very elusive all day, after being trapped and ringed mid morning. Two new Greenish Warblers were discovered further north, one at Whitburn, County Durham and one at Collieston, Aberdeenshire, whilst Shetland hosted a Booted Warbler at Grutness, an Arctic Warbler at Sumburgh and a juvenile Pallid Harrier on Noss. An adult Semipalmated Sandpiper joined the juvenile at Tacumshin, County Wexford, where a Baird's Sandpiper, White-rumped Sandpiper and Buff-breasted Sandpiper all remained.

Lingering rarities included the Black Scoter in Aberdeenshire, Wilson's Phalarope in County Antrim, single Greenish Warblers in Norfolk and Northumberland and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset.

Scarce migrant totals included 18 Wrynecks, 11 Barred Warblers, eight Common Rosefinches, six Icterine Warblers, two Woodchat Shrikes, two Red-backed Shrikes, a Spotted Crake, a Grey Phalarope and a Kentish Plover.
