A south-westerly wind backed south-east and strengthened during a day that ended with rain; temperatures reached 16 degrees C. Wildfowl on the move during the seawatch included 46 Wigeon and 260 Teal flying south, while four Little Gulls and five Arctic Skuas were also recorded. Clearly there remained plenty of food offshore, with significant numbers of birds joined by 19 Bottlenose Dolphins, 15 Harbour Porpoise and especially notable, six Common Dolphins that swam south. While much larger numbers of Lesser Redpoll were moving south inland of the headland, ten birds ringed at South Landing were unusual.
