Winds became even lighter and variable in direction after light/moderate northerly winds first thing. There were occasional sunny spells, although it was generally overcast, with light rain during the evening and temperatures that reached 13 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included a summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver flying north, along with three Red-throated Divers, two Teal, 21 Manx Shearwaters, the year’s first Little Tern, three Common Terns and 267 Puffins; 24 Common Scoter, 15 Sandwich Terns and a Bonxie headed south.

Elsewhere, a Greenshank flew over Oceanview, a singing Garden Warbler frequented Old Fall, whilst a pair of Corn Buntings near North Landing included a singing male.
