The weather consisted of blustery south-west winds, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached 11 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with four Velvet Scoters, a Great Northern Diver and a Mediterranean Gull flying south. A skein of 125 Pink-footed Geese flew south over the head, a Barnacle Goose lingered with the Greylag flock, whilst a Shoveler, 110 Teal and 19 Wigeon were in residence near North Marsh together with 23 Whooper Swans. An influx of Woodpigeons was apparent in the morning, with 560 present on the outer head, where additional interest included 80 Skylarks, 12 Twite and nine Lapland Buntings. On the north side of the head, the Dusky Warbler remained at Buckton, where a Water Rail was also present.
