A Lesser Yellowlegs was found on Mainland Orkney at The Loons RSPB reserve, but remained only brielfy, and also on the wader theme, there was a possible Pacific Golden Plover at Orford Ness in Suffolk.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, the Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, the Glossy Ibis in Pembrokeshire and at least the female Little Bittern still in Somerset.

The Melodious Warbler remained at Tiln in Nottinghamshire, the Purple Heron was still at Tophill Low in Yorkshire, along with the drake Surf Scoter off Filey and a Cory's Shearwater which flew past Spurn. The Common Rosefinch remained on Anglesey.
