  The first Citrine Wagtail of the autumn was on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd from mid morning onwards. It was a crisp juvenile, and follows a first-summer female which was present on the island for two days in late May. Elsewhere, a juvenile Black-winged Stilt was reported from Keyhaven, Hampshire, with three juveniles also remaining at Cavenham, Suffolk.

Other lingering rarities included the Stilt Sandpiper in Northumberland, Black-winged Pratincole in Cambridgeshire, single White-rumped Sandpipers in Norfolk and Lincolnshire, three Bee-eaters on the Isle of Wight and Lesser Scaup in Somerset.
