  The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Caspian Tern in Norfolk. Present throughout the day commuting between Strumpshaw Fen and Buckenham Marshes before returning to Breydon Water in the evening.

Rarities elsewhere comprised the Snowy Owl still in County Mayo, Wilson's Petrel off the Isles of Scilly, Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, Glossy Ibis in West Sussex, and a White-rumped Sandpiper in Lincolnshire at Frampton Marsh.

Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (County Waterford), Red-backed Shrike (London), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cleveland), Temminck's Stint (Cleveland), Cory's Shearwater (Isles of Scilly) and Great White Egret (at least five still in Somerset).
