  The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Greater Sand Plover in East Yorkshire at Easington where it showed on and off throughout the day. Rarities elsewhere comprised a Snowy Owl still on the Western Isles, Bonaparte's Gull and four Black-winged Stilts together in Kent, Black-winged Stilt in Norfolk, and two Savi's Warblers together in Suffolk.

Scarcities included two Rose-coloured Starlings (Cornwall and Suffolk), Red-backed Shrike (Surrey), Pectoral Sandpiper (Northumberland) and Cattle Egret (Norfolk).
