  The continued presence of the juvenile Ivory Gull at Patrington Haven, Yorkshire is the main headline today. Other lingering rarities included Two-barred Crossbills in Yorkshire (eight), Gloucestershire (seven) and Shropshire (three), two King Eiders in Lothian, single Lesser Scaups in Highland and County Kerry, Red-breasted Goose on the Isle of Wight and Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire.

New Glossy Ibises were found in Orkney, Western Isles, Lancashire, County Donegal, West Midlands and Lincolnshire, whilst the Nottinghamshire individual returned to Lowdham.
