Largely sunny, with some light snow showers late afternoon, a moderate north-westerly wind and a maximum of a mere two degrees C. A Velvet Scoter and two Great Northern Divers flew north during a seawatch that also witnessed a Short-eared Owl coming in off the sea. A lone Snow Bunting also flew south over the outer head.

Three Shoveler, 72 Wigeon and 136 Teal were on the outer head, along with two Water Rails, two Jack Snipe, four Woodcock and 12 Sanderling.
