  Raritiy highlights included Iberian Chiffchaffs (Cornwall and Shropshire), American Herring Gull (Western Isles), Long-billed Dowitchers (Kent, Hampshire and Northumberland), White-billed Diver (Highland), King Eider (Fife) and Bonaparte's Gull (Devon).

The best of the rest included Yellow-browed Warbler (London), Purple Heron (Kent), Pallas's Warbler (Dorset), Hoopoes (Dorset and Cornwall), Cattle Egret (Cambridgeshire) and four Glossy Ibises.

Little Gulls passed through many inland sites during a widespread movement, and news from yesterday concerned a male Pallid Harrier photographed in Kent.
