The warm weather continues. Sunny throughout the day, light south-easterly winds and the temperature rose to 19°C by late afternoon.

A hundred Common Scoters and seven Manx Shearwaters were the pick of the seawatch. Passage waders at Thornwick Pools included a Green Sandpiper and a Dunlin while a Teal was also new. A Cuckoo was at South Landing beach before moving up the ravine. At least one Quail continued singing on the Outer Head.
