After a damp start, sunny intervals dominated apart from the odd shower; there were moderate south-westerly winds and a high of 18 degrees C. Seawatch records included a Brent Goose, one Shoveler, a Black-tailed Godwit, two Arctic Skuas and single 1st calendar-year Caspian, Yellow-legged and Mediterranean Gulls. Away from the sea, a Marsh Harrier, two Hobby and 14 Swifts flew west over the village. It was also apparent that the blustery winds had pushed southbound passerines onto the coastal fringe: two Tree Pipits, 250 Meadow Pipits, four Grey Wagtails, eight Redpoll, 104 Siskin and nine Reed Buntings re-orientated inland from the outer head. Grounded passerines included one Pied Flycatcher, a Wheatear and nine Yellow Wagtails.
