  Discovery of the day was a first-winter Ross's Gull in Glamorgan, which was present at the river mouth at Port Talbot briefly before flying up river. The Myrtle Warbler remains in a garden in County Durham, with arrangements being made for access in the near future.

Other lingering rarities seen today included the Red-flanked Bluetail on the Gloucestershire /Wiltshire border, American Coot, Black Duck and White-billed Diver in Highland, Ross's Gull in Dublin, American Buff-bellied Pipit in Cheshire, single Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Warwickshire and Kent, Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire and two King Eiders in Lothian.
