in Lothian, Baird's Sandpiper in Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper on the Western Isles,
Long-billed Dowitcher in Gloucestershire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Cornwall,
White-rumped Sandpiper in Somerset, seven American Golden Plovers (four on the Orkney Isles), nine

Other rarities included an American Buff-bellied Pipit on South Uist, Western Isles, the Baillon's Crake still in London, Blue-winged Teal in Merseyside, Ferruginous Duck in Lincolnshire, Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire, and a Saker briefly in Lothian.
