  A Snowy Owl was briefly located near Exnaboe, Shetland, before it flew off north.

Long staying rarities still present today included the Myrtle Warbler in County Durham, American Coot and Black Duck in Highland, Pied-billed Grebe on the Western Isles, Red-flanked Bluetail on the Gloucestershire/Wiltshire border (now the longest staying individual ever in Britain), Forster's Tern and King Eider in County Mayo (with two of the latter still on Shetland), Two-barred Crossbill in Lincolnshire, single Lesser Scaups in Staffordshire, Glamorgan and Cornwall and the probable Chinese Pond Heron remained in Kent.
