  The highlight of the day was the discovery of both a Paddyfield Warbler and a Greenish Warbler on Blakeney Point, Norfolk. Elsewhere, a Gull-billed Tern in Nottinghamshire paid a brief visit to Lound, and on the Shetland Isles a Bonaparte's Gull was new on Unst.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Hudsonian Whimbrel in West Sussex, Greater Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Collared Pratincole and Little Bittern together in Suffolk, Broad-billed Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper together in Lincolnshire, Greenish Warbler on the Isles of Scilly, Black Kite in Warwickshire and Bee-eater on the Shetland Isles.

Scarcities included Melodious Warbler (West Midlands), Ring-necked Duck (East Yorkshire), American Wigeon (Aberdeenshire), and two each of Icterine Warbler, Marsh Warbler, Common Rosefinch, Red-backed Shrike and migrant Red-necked Phalarope.
