  The highlight of the day was once again Brunnich's Guillemot with new birds in Aberdeenshire at Collieston, and at Torness, Lothian. Other discoveries included a Desert Wheatear in Devon at Start Point, a Blyth's Reed Warbler in Manchester, Greater Manchester, a Dusky Warbler in Cornwall at Skewjack, and in Cleveland a White-billed Diver flew over Saltburn.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Belted Kingfisher in Lancashire, White-tailed Lapwing in East Yorkshire, both White-winged Scoter and Isabelline Wheatear in Lothian, Isabelline Shrike species in Pembrokeshire, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Hume's Warbler in Suffolk, another Desert Wheatear in Devon, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Lesser Scaups in Argyll, Devon (2), and the Isles of Scilly, and Dusky Warblers in both Norfolk and Scilly (2).

Significant late news concerned the Ross's Goose still present yesterday with Pink-footed Geese at Hunterston, Ayrshire.
