  On the Isles of Scilly the Blyth's Pipit reappeared on St Mary's, although reports suggested it was mobile and not present for very long. Other lingering Mega rarities included the Scarlet Tanager on Barra, Western Isles, Solitary Sandpiper at Rathanganon, County Wexford and Little Crake at Minsmere, Suffolk.

A Great Snipe was trapped and ringed near Landrindod Wells, Powys overnight, with other new discoveries including a Rustic Bunting on St Agnes, Isles of Scilly and an Olive-backed Pipit and three Little Buntings in Shetland.

Lingering rarity highlights included the Steppe Grey Shrike in Norfolk, Gyr in the Western Isles and Laughing Gull in County Cork.
