  A Swinhoe's Petrel flew past the Bridges of Ross, County Clare this evening. This would be the third record for Ireland, and the second for the site, following the first ever for the British Isles was seen there on 15th August 1985. In Britain, the first Blue-winged Teal to be seen in Worcestershire for 25 years was found at Grimley, and a Blyth's Reed Warbler was on Foula, Shetland.

Lingering rarities included the Long-billed Dowitcher in County Offaly, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk.
