Little change in the weather, with light winds and the sun breaking through in the middle of the day. Such settled conditions proved conducive to huge flocks of seabirds feeding off the Outer Head, including a single Manx Shearwater amongst 1000s of auks, Kittiwakes and Gannets. Seawatch highlights included 13 Shelduck south, two Tufted Duck north, 163 Common Scoter north (and 152 south!), 74 Sandwich Terns north and single Common and Arctic Terns heading south.
The day provided a local record count of 8 Little Egrets; a flock of five flew north past the Fog Station early morning, followed by two dropping onto Head Farm Pond and another near North Marsh. In addition, three Grey Herons flew north.
The dark-bellied Brent Goose remained on fields near North Marsh, whilst a Cuckoo overflew the Outer Head and two Grey Wagtails did likewise.
