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.

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. |
