  A Pied Wheatear at Collingham Pits, Nottinghamshire is an outstanding inland record, but news wasn't released until after dark. A Black-throated Thrush was found at Gulberwick, Shetland this morning, before it moved a short distance north-east to Sound this afternoon. A Coues's Arctic Redpoll was trapped and ringed on Whixall Moss, Shropshire, a Gyr was at Balemore and two White-rumped Sandpipers were in North Bay, both Western Isles, and a Lesser Scaup was at Murlach, County Galway.

Lingering rarities still present today included the Penduline Tit in Gwent, single Two-barred Crossbills in Surrey and Kent, three White-rumped Sandpipers in Cornwall, Blue-winged Teal in Lincolnshire, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Devon and Northumberland and Northern Harrier in County Wexford. Glossy Ibises were seen in Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire and Nottinghamshire.
