  The first Blackpoll Warbler on the Isles of Scilly since 2008 was discovered on Bryher today, but unfortunately it only showed briefly to the few lucky birders already on the island. Almost as brief, a Radde's Warbler was trapped at Spurn, Yorkshire, but wasn't seen after release. New arrivals on Fair Isle, Shetland included a Blyth's Reed Warbler and two Olive-backed Pipits.

Lingering rarities included the Paddyfield Warbler, Olive-backed Pipit and Ortolan Bunting in Cornwall, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll in Shetland, Northern Harrier in County Wexford, Citrine Wagtail in Gwynedd, single Lesser Yellowlegs' in Somerset and County Dublin, single Long-billed Dowitchers in Lincolnshire and Gloucestershire, American Golden Plover on the Isles of Scilly and a Glossy Ibis in County Cork.
