Sunny throughout, with calm conditions and temperatures reaching 11 degrees C. The most unusual record from a relatively quiet seawatch was a single Long-tailed Tit that flew past the Fog Station. The Whooper Swan re-appeared on Buckton Pond, with the lone Barnacle Goose accompanied by two Pink-footed Geese near North Marsh and the drake Pochard still in residence at Thornwick Pools.
