  A Dusky Warbler was a good find today in Lancashire at Marton Mere near Blackpool. It represents the 3rd county record. At the other end of the country, the Dusky Warbler was still to be found at Chichester in Sussex.

In Highland the juvenile Ivory Gull was relocated in Ullapool Harbour this afternoon and, in Aberdeenshire, the Harlequin Duck was still to be found on the River Don at Aberdeen. County Kerry still played host to a Black Scoter and an American Coot and other lingering rarities included three Penduline Tits in Devon, a Lesser Yellowlegs in Sussex, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon and Lesser Scaups in Cornwall, Ayrshire, Glamorgan and Powys.

There was a Night Heron and two Cattle Egrets in Kent and amongst more typical winter fare comes the unusual wintering record of four Ring Ouzels in the hills of Gwynedd in North Wales.
