It was a bright day, with a light westerly wind and temperatures peaking at six degrees C. Two Velvet Scoters flew south during the seawatch, along with a Mediterranean Gull, two Bonxies and a Great Northern Diver. Wildfowl interest included two Whooper Swans, three Barnacle Geese and 44 Wigeon. A male Blackcap was a new arrival on the outer head, with a Brambling frequenting the nearby cover crop.
