  The Short-toed Eagle was, predictably, still at roost in its pine tree at Morden Bog, Dorset early morning, remaining in position until around 10am when it flew SSW, with no confirmed sightings since.

New discoveries today included a Red-throated Pipit on Unst, Shetland, a Blyth's Reed Warbler at Whitburn, County Durham and a Black Kite over Bolderwood, Hampshire. Bee-eaters were found in Wirral, Devon (five), Dorset and Kent (two).

Other lingering rarities included the Black-headed Bunting in Norfolk, Ross's Gull in Devon, Bonaparte's Gull in Surrey, Savi's Warblers in Gwent and Aberdeenshire, King Eiders in Lothian and Aberdeenshire and Lesser Scaup in Cheshire.
