  A King Eider was off Nairn, Highland, whilst four newly reported Glossy Ibises were in Cornwall, one at Marazion, one at Helston and two on the Hayle Estuary (where there were four yesterday).

The Baikal Teal remained in Merseyside, with other lingering rarities including Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Northamptonshire, Two-barred Crossbills in Kent, Surrey, Norfolk, Yorkshire (eight) and Shropshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Black Duck in County Mayo, Blue-winged Teal in Orkney, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and Glossy Ibis in the Isles of Scilly.

Scarcity highlights included a Melodious Warbler, six Yellow-browed Warblers, a Hoopoe, a Rose-coloured Starling, four Great Grey Shrikes, four Rough-legged Buzzards and at least 35 Parrot Crossbills.
