  A Greenish Warbler at Flamborough Head, Yorkshire was the most unusual rarity today, with more classic Spring vagrants including a new Thrush Nightingale on Fair Isle, Shetland, a Black Stork in Buckinghamshire, a Black Kite and six Bee-eaters in Norfolk (with another of the former in Dorset), a Red-footed Falcon in County Wexford and two Red-rumped Swallows on Unst, Shetland. A Black-winged Stilt was seen in Gwent and two Glossy Ibises were in Sussex.

The Baillon's Crake remained in Anglesey, as did the Greater Yellowlegs in Aberdeenshire, Great Reed Warbler in Somerset, Forster's Tern in County Wexford, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cleveland, Rustic Bunting in Shetland, two Black-winged Stilts in Dorset and Glossy Ibises in Pembrokeshire (two) and County Wexford (three).
