Another day of sunny skies and light northerly to north easterly winds. Seven Manx Shearwater heading north were the highlight of the morning sea watch, with 7 Common Scoter, 1 Red-throated Diver and 71 Sandwich Tern also recorded.

On the land, Thornwick pools held 2 Little Ringed Plover and a Dunlin. 16 Shelduck were counted across the headland and included a brood of 10 ducklings at South Landing. Two Common Swift were also noted.
