Tuesday 14th October 2014  
  On one of the busiest days of the autumn, as is often the case, there was no stand out rarity highlight. New discoveries in Norfolk included a Red-flanked Bluetail at Stiffkey, an Olive-backed Pipit at Wells, single Radde's Warblers at Wells, Burnham Overy, Brancaster and Great Yarmouth and a Little Bunting at Warham. Another Radde's Warbler was at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire, whilst the lingering Booted Warbler in Lothian was joined by a Siberian Stonechat, and both a Rustic Bunting and Little Bunting were found in Shetland (on Unst and Mainland respectively). A Penduline Tit was heard on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly.

Lingering rarity highlights included the Solitary Sandpiper in County Wexford, Steppe Grey Shrike in Norfolk, Arctic Warbler in Lincolnshire, Subalpine Warbler in Cornwall, single Radde's Warblers in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and Olive-backed Pipit in Orkney.

Large numbers of Ring Ouzels were seen, mainly along the SE coast, with at least 550 at Dungeness and at least 410 at St Margaret's at Cliffe.
