  The Pine Grosbeak remained on Mainland Shetland, although it was missing for the majority of the day.

In Co Cork two Black Ducks were on a flooded field at Mizen Head, whilst elsewhere in Ireland the possible Glaucous-winged Gull reappeared in Co Kerry and the Richard's Pipit lingered in Co Louth.

Back across the Irish Sea rarities included Lesser Yellowlegs in Devon, Richardson's Canada Goose and Black-bellied Dipper in Norfolk, Dark-breasted Barn Owl in East Sussex, Bonaparte's Gulls in East Sussex and Glamorgan, Desert Wheatear in Aberdeenshire, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan and Ferruginous Duck in Bedfordshire. In Devon the Rose-coloured Starling lingered at Exminster.
