  The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Eyebrowed Thrush in Highland at Kincraig where it had first been seen on 29th October.

Lingering rarities elsewhere comprised the Varied Thrush still on the Orkney Isles, White-tailed Lapwing in East Yorkshire, White-winged Scoter in Lothian, Radde's Warbler in Fife, and Ferruginous Duck in Staffordshire.

Discoveries included in Northumberland a Wilson's Phalarope at Newstead Flash and a Bonaparte's Gull at Bamburgh, a Blyth's Reed Warbler on the Orkney Isles on Papa Westray, and a White-billed Diver flew past Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire.

On the Isles of Scilly an Arctic Warbler was new on St Mary's with Spotted Sandpiper and Olive-backed Pipit still there, and the Lesser Scaup still on Tresco. On the Shetland Isles an Eastern Stonechat species was on Yell, Pallas's Warbler on Unst, and on Mainland a Radde's Warbler at Sullom, Hornemann's Arctic Redpoll at Brae, Barred Warbler, King Eider, and Ring-necked Duck.
