Another warm, sunny day, the light easterly breeze moderating the temperature which rose to 22°C.

Seawatching was predictably quiet, a single Minke Whale being the highlight. Four Little Egrets graced the rocks at Cattlemere and a Wood Sandpiper spent all afternoon at Thornwick Pools. A Red Kite flew north over the village. Four Quails continued to sing on the Outer Head.
