The weather consisted of light winds generally from the north, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 13 degrees C. Two Mute Swans flew north during the morning’s seawatch, when ten Manx Shearwaters and six Sandwich Terns moved in the same direction; a Hooded Crow over the Fog Station continued the species recent good run of records. Seven Mute Swans frequented the Thornwick area, where a lone Whimbrel overflew the pools.

The Black-browed Albatross continued to give good views at RSPB Bermpton Cliffs where a Bee-eater hawked over the visitor centre before drifting towards Buckton.
