  Highlight of the day was the discovery of a Desert Wheatear in East Sussex. Meanwhile the Desert Wheatear lingered in Devon, and the Pallid Harrier (East Yorkshire), Long-billed Dowitcher (Kent), Semipalmated Sandpiper (Co Wexford), Hooded Merganser (Ayrshire) and Eastern Black Redstart (Cleveland) were also recorded.

The best of the rest included Rose-coloured Starling (West Sussex), Glossy Ibis (Cambridgeshire), American Wigeon (Ceredigion), two Todd's Canada Geese, four Ring-necked Ducks and seven Cattle Egrets.
