  The highlight of the day was the continuing Pacific Golden Plover in Cornwall at Hayle whilst a Bee-eater was seen nearby at Polgigga. Elsewhere rarities comprised the Squacco Heron still in East Yorkshire, Black-headed Bunting on the Shetland Isles and Bonaparte's Gulls in both Kent and London.

Scarcities included two Red-backed Shrikes (both Shetland Isles) and three Cattle Egrets.
