	Despite it being another very busy day, only three rarities were discovered. These were a Red-throated Pipit at Rattray Head, Aberdeenshire, a Little Bunting on Fair Isle, Shetland and a Bonaparte's Gull at Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin. Surprising news came from the Isle of Wight, where the twelve Bee-eaters reappeared at Brading Marsh. Lingering rarities included the Rustic Bunting, Little Bunting, Greenish Warbler and Blue-winged Teal (or hybrid) in Northumberland, Pallid Harrier in Shetland, Forster's Tern in County Louth, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire and Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan.
