| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Laughing Gull in Cornwall at Marazion. Elsewhere, at least two
Two-barred Crossbills were found in Flintshire at Nercwys Mountain, and four
White-billed Divers were located on the Orkney Isles. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were both American Coot and Black Duck in Highland, Red-flanked Bluetail in Wiltshire, Forster's Tern and King Eider in County Mayo, two Penduline Tits in Kent, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Warwickshire, seven Two-barred Crossbills in South Yorkshire, Laughing Gull and King Eider in County Cork, two King Eiders and a White-billed Diver on the Shetland Isles, King Eider in Lothian, Lesser Scaup in Cornwall, and a Richardson's Canada Goose in Argyll, but there was negative news from County Durham, where the Myrtle Warbler could not be found in High Shincliffe. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (Kent), Yellow-browed Warbler (Worcestershire), Serin (Isles of Scilly), Richard's Pipit and Shorelark (Norfolk), two Rough-legged Buzzard, three Ring-necked Duck, four Glossy Ibis, five Surf Scoter, eight Lapland Bunting, and 15 Parrot Crossbills.
