The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Upland Sandpiper in Cornwall at Sennen near to where it was first been seen on 9th October. Discoveries elsewhere included a Pallid Swift on the Shetland Isles at Lerwick, Mainland, and in Moray a White-billed Diver at Burghead.

Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Red-headed Bunting, Eastern Stonechat species, Pallid Harrier, and two Blue-winged Teals all in East Yorkshire, Yellow Warbler on Shetland, Lesser Grey Shrike in Argyll, Squacco Heron in Somerset, Baird's Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper in County Cork, Red-breasted Geese in Argyll and Northumberland, White-billed Divers in Lothian and East Yorkshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire and County Louth, and Long-billed Dowitchers in Cornwall, Norfolk, and East Sussex.

On the Isles of Scilly a Red-throated Pipit was new on St Agnes, with around island totals of two each of both Little Bunting and Lapland Bunting, three of Red-breasted Flycatcher and Yellow-browed Warbler, Sabine's Gull, Pomarine Skua, Grey Phalarope, 245 Cory's Shearwaters, and 1,172 Great Shearwaters.
