An overcast day with strong southerly winds, rain during the afternoon and temperatures peaking at 11 degrees C. Eleven Pink-footed Geese flew in off the sea and were later relocated on stubble near North Dykes; an additional bird frequented Thornwick’s New Workings. A total of 47 Common Scoter and 57 Red-throated Divers also flew south during the seawatch, along with a single Knot, a lone Kittiwake and four Razorbills together with larger numbers of Guillemots. A second-winter Mediterranean Gull rested on fields near South Landing, whilst two Black Redstarts continued their residence on the cliffs around the Fog Station.
