  The highlight of the day was the continued presence of both mega rarities: the Red-necked Stint in Northumberland on the Blyth Estuary, and the River Warbler in Somerset at Ham Wall.

Discoveries included a Black-headed Bunting in Essex on The Naze briefly, two Collared Pratincoles together in Kent at Dungeness, a Lesser Yellowlegs at Grutness, Shetland Isles, a Black Stork briefly at Sellindge, Kent, a Black Kite briefly at Oakham, Leicestershire, and single Bee-eaters in each of County Cork, East Yorkshire, and the Isles of Scilly.

Other rarities today comprised the American Herring Gull still in Cornwall, Rustic Bunting, King Eider, and two White-billed Diver all on Shetland, territorial Great Reed Warblers still in both Northumberland and Nottinghamshire, King Eider still in Aberdeenshire, and Red-footed Falcons in Kent, Norfolk (2), and Suffolk.
