  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a new Semipalmated Plover in County Wexford at Tacumshin, where the Western Sandpiper showed again.

Rarities elsewhere comprised a Barolo Shearwater at sea southwest of the Isles of Scilly, a Black Kite in Suffolk over Landguard, the American White-winged Scoter still in Aberdeenshire, Broad-billed Sandpiper in Lincolnshire, Caspian Tern in Norfolk, and Bonaparte's Gull in Northumberland.

Scarcities included Melodious Warbler (Dorset), Great Shearwater (Devon), Spotted Crake (Cheshire), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire), Glossy Ibis (Cheshire), White Stork (London), and two Pectoral Sandpipers.
