Initially moderate winds gradually dropped in strength and backed from a south-easterly to a westerly direction; sunny intervals and occasional showers in the morning, with temperatures peaking at six degrees C. Seawatch highlights included a Great Northern Diver flying north, 105 Kittiwakes south, whilst single Bonxie, Pomarine Skua and Arctic Skua also headed north. A total of 199 Teal in residence (198 North Marsh, one Thornwick) represented an excellent headland count, whilst five Long-tailed Ducks lingered off South Landing. Two Woodcock were flushed near Thornwick and 36 Purple Sandpipers fed on rocks between the Seawatch Observatory and High Stacks. Passerine interest included the male Black Redstart around the Fog Station, nine Stonechats and a Lapland Bunting.
