  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Black Kite in Lincolnshire at Glentham in the late afternoon. Other spring rarties comprised the two Black-winged Stilts still in Essex, Tawny Pipit in East Yorkshire, and the Bee-eater on the Isles of Scilly. Supporting cast included Hoopoes (Kent and Lancashire), Spotted Crake (Isle of Scilly), Dotterel (Kent) and Cattle Egret (Cambridgeshire).

Rarities lingering from the winter comprised the Baikal Teal still in Cambridgeshire, Pied-billed Grebe in County Mayo, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Kent, Dusky Warbler in Suffolk, and Two-barred Crossbills in both Greater Manchester and Norfolk (2).

Late news concerned a Subalpine Warbler present on Sunday at St David's Head in Pembrokeshire.
