Light easterly winds were a feature of a day that began with overcast skies followed by sunny intervals until a sea fret arrived; temperatures reached 19 degrees C. Two Little Terns that flew north during a morning seawatch were particularly noteworthy given the barely annual status of the species; 48 Common Scoters, 15 Sandwich Terns, a Red-throated Diver and 17 Manx Shearwaters were also logged during the same seawatch.

Elsewhere, a creamcrown Marsh Harrier continued to hunt fields at Buckton.
