After a night of rain, the morning started mostly dry with a moderate south-westerly wind turning northerly later. The seawatch brought an improved count of 310 Manx Shearwater. This was the first day of a noticeable increase in wader passage, the commonest species noted being Redshank, with 66 south, whilst 26 Black-tailed Godwit represented the highlight. 390 Common Scoter and a single Little Gull were also recorded. At Thornwick Pool, a pair of Tufted Duck were new arrivals. Waders continued to show there, with 2 Little Ringed Plover and 2 Dunlin alongside Grey and Yellow Wagtail. Moth trapping produced small numbers of the migrant Diamond-back Moth, along with a single Brown-line Bright Eye and a Lime Hawk-Moth.
