  In Northumberland the juvenile Greater Yellowlegs remained at Hauxley NR throughout the day.

New discoveries included Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk, Dusky Warblers in Norfolk and Cornwall, White-billed Diver off Western Isles, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Co Durham and Red-breasted Goose in Essex, whilst a Desert Wheatear at Titchwell RSPB (Norfolk) was presumably the bird recently seen at Holme.

In Co Cork Power Head continued its purple patch with a flyover Gyr, whilst the Pallid Harrier also remained there. Two Desert Wheatears lingered in Co Wicklow.
