  Although not the rarest bird discovered today, a Bee-eater at Cley and Salthouse on the north Norfolk coast is probably the highlight of the day, due to the large number of observers admiring it. The second King Eider for County Donegal was at Portnoo, whilst other new discoveries included a Long-billed Dowitcher in County Cork, Red-throated Pipit in Highland and a Red-rumped Swallow in Lincolnshire.

Lingering rarities included the Pallid Harrier in Yorkshire, Savi's Warbler in Norfolk, Greater Yellowlegs in Aberdeenshire, Forster's Tern and Red-rumped Swallow in County Wexford, Black-winged Stilt in Lincolnshire, Blue-winged Teal in Clyde, four Glossy Ibises in Pembrokeshire and Red-rumped Swallow in Cambridgeshire.
