An overcast day, with a light/moderate south-easterly wind and temperatures peaking at six degrees C. The seawatch featured the first major surprise of the year when a Great Shearwater flew south at relatively close range at 0902hrs; this represented only the second ever March record, following a bird that flew north on 15th March 1992. Two drake Scaup also flew south during the seawatch. In addition, Thornwick Pools hosted 47 Teal and a Water Rail, while South Landing attracted a Woodcock.
