  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Blyth's Reed Warbler on the Shetland Isles, on Fair Isle alongside two Red-spotted Bluethroats and a Marsh Warbler.

Rarities elsewhere included the Harlequin Duck on the Western Isles, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Lesser Scaup in Highland, Red-footed Falcon and Savi's Warbler together in Suffolk, and a Black Kite briefly in Northumberland.

Scarcities included seven Red-backed Shrikes, three each of both Pectoral Sandpiper and Temminck's Stint, two Ring-necked Ducks (together in Devon), and single Common Rosefinch (Lincolnshire), Hoopoe (Derbyshire), Red-necked Phalarope (Gloucestershire), Short-toed Lark (Shetland Isles) and Lapland Bunting (Western Isles).
