  The highlight of the day was the relocation of the Franklin's Gull in South Wales, today at Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. Otherwise, new rarities comprised a Bonaparte's Gull in County Kerry at Dingle, and a Lesser Scaup at Holme Pierrepont, Nottinghamashire.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Sardinian Warbler in County Cork, Blue-winged Teal in Kent, Black Kite on the Orkney Isles, and Two-barred Crossbills in both Norfolk and South Yorkshire.

Scarcities included Night Heron (Wirral), Red-backed Shrike (Lincolnshire), Richard's Pipit (Norfolk), Great Grey Shrike (Shetland Isles), Surf Scoter (Lothian), Pectoral Sandpiper (Norfolk), two migrant Dotterel (North Yorkshire), Serin (Dorset and Western Isles), Cattle Egret (Buckinghamshire and Cambridgeshire), four each of both Hoopoe and Glossy Ibis, and seven Wrynecks.
