| A quieter day than of late with a brief Great White Egret at Burton Marsh, Cheshire and a flyover
Bee-eater at Winterton, Norfolk being the most notable discoveries. Elsewhere in Norfolk the
Broad-billed Sandpiper remained at Breydon Water in the morning, the Black Kite
showed again at North Creake, the Iberian Chiffchaff remained on territory at Colney and a male
Red-backed Shrike showed well at Weybourne Camp. Other lingering rarities included the Scops Owl at Thrupp Oxfordshire, Snowy Owl on North Uist Western Isles, Squacco Heron on St Mary's Isle of Scilly and American Golden Plover at Farlington Marshes, Hampshire. Other notables included the Woodchat Shrike still at Sidlesham, West Sussex, four Purple Herons remaining at Minsmere, Suffolk and a Night Heron present at Castleford, West Yorkshire. |

| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Broad-billed Sandpiper at Breydon Water, Norfolk. Elsewhere, a
White-billed Diver was off Unst, Shetland Isles. Two Bee-eaters briefly joined the
Squacco Heron on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly and single flyover Black Kite and
Cattle Egret were noted in Lincolnshire and Berkshire respectively. The American Golden Plover remained at Farlington Marshes, Hampshire as did the Cattle Egret at Rainham Marshes, London. The Glossy Ibis reappeared at Marshside, Merseyside and on the Western Isles both the Snowy Owl and Rose-coloured Starling were still on North Uist and the American Herring Gull was seen again at Stornoway, Lewis. Otherwise, a Kentish Plover arrived at Dawlish Warren, Devon, three Purple Herons continued at Minsmere, Suffolk and the Woodchat Shrike was seen again at Sidlesham, West Sussex. |
