  On the busiest day of the autumn so far, with over 500 messages sent, it is perhaps surprising that there were only three new rarities discovered today. First up was a Western Bonelli's Warbler at Kelling, Norfolk, which maintains the county's recent good run of records of this species. A Citrine Wagtail was in the Western Isles, at Borve Point on Benbecula, and a Black Kite flew over Abberton Reservoir, Essex.

Lingering rarities included the Lesser Grey Shrike and Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk, Stilt Sandpiper in County Dublin, single Lesser Yellowlegs' in County Donegal and Hampshire, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and the other Citrine Wagtail in the Western Isles on South Uist.
