  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Green Warbler on Fair Isle; the third to be located in northern Britain in the last month. A Blyth's Reed Warbler was also new on Fair Isle whilst discoveries elsewhere included a Gull-billed Tern briefly in Nottinghamshire at Netherield, a Blyth's Reed Warbler reported in Highland at Dornoch, and now two Savi's Warblers together in Norfolk.

Lingering rarities confirmed as present were both the Yellow-crowned Night Heron and Elegant Tern still in County Mayo, Least Tern in County Dublin, Double-crested Cormorant in County Sligo, Solitary Sandpiper on the Isles of Scilly, Great Reed Warbler in Cambridgeshire, Lesser Yellowlegs in Lincolnshire, White-billed Diver in Highland, and at least two Ferruginous Ducks together Warwickshire.
