  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Little Bittern in South Yorkshire at Old Moor. Elsewhere, lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Greater Yellowlegs in Hampshire, Gull-billed Tern in Devon, Red-footed Falcon in Satffordshire, Lesser Scaup in Somerset, and both Bonaparte's Gull and Black-winged Stilt in Kent.

Scarcities included Purple Heron (Suffolk), Temminck's Stint (Leicestershire), American Wigeon (Aberdeenshire), Sabine's Gull (Highland), Ring-billed Gull and three Great Shearwaters (Cornwall).
