  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a pair of Blue-winged Teals in East Yorkshire at Brough; perhaps the same pair as that present in the same county at Tophill Low intermittently between 23 August 2023 and 23 September 2024.

Elsewhere rarities comprised White-winged Scoters still in Fife and Lothian, Black Scoter still in Wirral, Ross's Goose in Shetland, Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Bonaparte's Gulls in Cornwall and Glamorgan, Ferruginous Duck in Lincolnshire, and Lesser Scaups in Dorset, Gloucestershire, and County Wexford.
