The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Alpine Accentor in Norfolk at Blakeney Point, whilst Pallid Swift reports today comprised singles in Angus, East Yorkshire, Kent, Lothian, Moray, Northumberland, Perth and Kinross, and Aberdeenshire.

Lingering rarities confirmed as present elsewhere were the Double-crested Cormorant in County Leitrim, Pied Wheatear in Northumberland, Pallid Harrier and Long-billed Dowitcher in Norfolk, Black Scoter in Northumberland, Blue-winged Teal in Lincolnshire, and Lesser Yellowlegs in both Merseyside and the Orkney Isles.
