  A Great Spotted Cuckoo at Giltar Point, Pembrokeshire was the first major Spring rarity of the year.

Long staying winter rarities still present included the American Coot and Bonaparte's Gull in Highland, American Herring Gull, Bonaparte's Gull and Richardson's Cackling Goose in Argyll, Pied-billed Grebe in the Western Isles, Gyr in Lincolnshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Kent and single Two-barred Crossbills in Lincolnshire, Surrey and Gloucestershire.

The second Little Ringed Plover of the year was in Carmarthenshire, single Ring Ouzels were in Denbighshire and Sussex and a new Garganey was in Gloucestershire, with Wheatears and Sand Martins now at a large number of sites across the country. Spring scarcities included two Hoopoes in the south-west and the Wryneck still in Pembrokeshire.
