  The highlight of the way was a brief Black-headed Bunting in Cornwall at Nanjizal. Otherwise, Black Storks remained in evidence, with one now in Dorset at Poole Harbour, and further lingering singles in Aberdeenshire, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Elsewhere rarities comprised the Paddyfield Warbler still on the Shetland Isles, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent, Red-footed Falcon in Staffordshire, and at least two Bee-eaters at the nest in Cumbria.

Scarcities included White-winged Black Tern (Staffordshire), Purple Heron (Suffolk), Sabine's Gull (Greater Manchester), Pectoral Sandpiper (Cleveland and Lincolnshire), Ring-billed Gull (County Antrim, Cornwall and Lancashire), Great Shearwater (County Cork and Isles of Scilly), Long-tailed Skua (Norfolk and Scilly), and Leach's Petrel (County Cork).
