  The fourth Penduline Tit for Bedfordshire was discovered this afternoon at Priory Country Park.

In West Yorkshire, the Blyth's Pipit and Thayer's Gull ended the day just 2/3 mile apart, with the former remaining in its favoured grass at Calder Park, and the latter roosting at nearby Pugneys Country Park. The gull had also been seen a few times during the day at Ravensthorpe, seven miles to the west.

Other lingering rarities present today included the Pacific Diver in Cornwall, Ivory Gull in Highland, Laughing Gull in County Cork, single Lesser Yellowlegs' in Sussex and County Dublin, Spotted Sandpiper in Aberdeenshire, King Eider in Moray, single Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and Powys and Eastern Black Redstart in the Isles of Scilly.
