  There were no new discoveries reported today, but there were still plenty of lingering rarities to see. In Scotland the American Coot and the Black Duck remained in Highland, with the American Herring Gull still a little further south in Argyll.

The Red-flanked Bluetail was still in Gloucestershire, as was the Pacific Diver in County Tyrone, single Ross's Gulls in County Cork and County Dublin, Forster's Tern and King Eider in County Mayo (with another of the latter plus a Laughing Gull in County Cork), Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Warwickshire and Kent (two), two Penduline Tits in Kent, Two-barred Crossbills in Gloucestershire (four), Yorkshire (seven), Lincolnshire and Shropshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire and Lesser Scaup in Cornwall.

The probable Chinese Pond Heron was still in Saltwood, Kent.
