  The highlight of the day was the discovery of an American Coot on North Uist, Western Isles. This is the eighth record for Britain, three of which have occurred in this county. A Roller near Dunmanway, County Cork is just the third November record ever. The other new discoveries today were more expected late autumn rarities, with a Desert Wheatear at Montrose, Angus, a Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler at Loch of Strathbeg RSPB, Aberdeenshire and single Dusky Warblers at Landguard, Suffolk and Kelynack, Cornwall.

Also in Suffolk, the identity of the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler at Bawdsey was confirmed, with the Black Stork and another Dusky Warbler also lingering in the county. Other lingering rarities included the Isabelline Shrikes in Cornwall and Dorset, Siberian Stonechat in County Durham, Franklin's Gull and Ferruginous Duck in Hampshire, Dusky Warbler in Dorset, Red-breasted Goose in Orkney, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan and Lesser Yellowlegs in County Dublin
