It was a relatively bright day, with a moderate south-westerly wind and temperatures reaching 15 degrees C. Eight Goosanders south on the seawatch continued an above average run of sightings, with a Pale-bellied Brent Goose north, 167 Pink-footed Geese, a Great Northern Diver north, 110 Little Gulls, three Mediterranean Gulls and a 30-strong pod of Bottlenose Dolphins. An additional 108 Pink-footed Geese moved south over the headland as did 20 Whooper Swans (12,8). The Merlin continued to show well around the Lighthouse Crop field.
A flock of 14 Bearded Tits that flew north over the Lighthouse Grassland represented an excellent local total. Other passerine sightings included three Yellow-browed Warblers, two Willow Warblers, eight Chiffchaffs, three Blackcaps, 53 Goldcrests, five Black Redstarts, 14 Twite, 11 Siskin and six Brambling.
