  An adult Eleonora's Falcon was seen over Kingston Seymour, Somerset briefly late morning. A Penduline Tit at Snape, Suffolk was the only other new rarity discovered today.

The Chimney Swift remained on Lewis, Western Isles, as did the Grey-cheeked Thrush on Fair Isle, Shetland, but there was no sign of the Yellow-billed Cuckoo in Cornwall.

Other lingering rarities included the Black Scoter in Angus, Pallid Harrier in Somerset, Siberian Stonechat in Hampshire, Forster's Tern and Lesser Yellowlegs in County Dublin (with another of the latter still in Cornwall), Spotted Sandpiper in Aberdeenshire and Richardson's Cackling Goose in Argyll.
