  The highlight of the day was the identification of a Black Scoter in Cleveland off Redcar, where it had first been seen yesterday. Elsewhere, a Western Subalpine Warbler was new on North Ronaldsay, Orkney Isles.

Lingering rarities comprised the Short-toed Eagle still in East Sussex, both Bridled Tern and Lesser Grey Shrike on the Shetland Isles, Spectacled Warbler in Norfolk, Ross's Gull and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, Lesser Scaup in Cheshire, and family groups of Black-winged Stilt in both Kent and West Sussex.

Scarcities included White-winged Black Tern (Anglesey), Golden Oriole (Isle of Scilly), Common Rosefinch (County Galway), Grey Phalarope (Orkney Isles), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire), Marsh Warbler (two on the Shetland Isles), Rose-coloured Starling (County Galway and Suffolk), and four Glossy Ibises.
