A relatively bright, but cold day, with strong north-north-westerly winds and a top temperature of eight degrees C. Predictably seawatching improved, with a drake Long-tailed Duck, four Pintail and 28 Manx Shearwaters flying north; 11 Sandwich Terns were also logged, while a Bonxie and six Red-throated Divers went south.
The outer head attracted a pair of Shelduck, 15 Teal, a drake Wigeon and two Tufted Ducks. A Short-eared Owl also hunted cliff top fields near North Landing. Passerine migrants were hard to locate given the conditions, but included five House Martins, three Wheatear, four Lesser Whitethroats, two White Wagtails and three Siskin.
