The weather consisted of light/moderate south-west winds, sunny intervals and occasional showers, with temperatures reaching 18 degrees C. Seawatching was quiet, with three Eiders, 52 Common Terns, three Arctic Terns and a Bonxie off the outer head. Thornwick Pools hosted the Wood Sandpiper, two Little Ringed Plovers, a Dunlin and one Snipe; a Greenshank overflew Oceanview. Two Wheatears on the cliff top at Thornwick were further signs of the beginnings of the autumn passerine season.
