  The second Whiskered Tern for the Isles of Scilly was seen today, on the Great Pool on Tresco. The only other record was from the same island, when one was shot in August 1851. Two Black-winged Stilts flew over Ferrybridge, Dorset, with two Bee-eaters doing the same over Brading, Isle of Wight. Further north, a Greenish Warbler was seen at Castlebay, Barra, Western Isles.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Stilt Sandpiper in County Wexford, Snowy Owl on the Aberdeenshire /Moray border, Citrine Wagtail in the Western Isles, Rustic Bunting in Shetland, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Bonaparte's Gull in County Durham and Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan.
