A light south-westerly wind early on changed to a light south-easterly, with temperatures reaching 20 degrees C and relatively sunny conditions throughout the day. Seawatching was relatively quiet, with three Manx Shearwaters flying north, as did 18 Sandwich Terns and a single Common Tern.

Grey Herons featured once again, with a flock of four touring the Headland and two frequenting Thornwick Pools. A Great Spotted Woodpecker along the cliffs near the Fog Station was presumably a local wanderer, a Grey Wagtail overflew Oceanview, whilst two Siskins were recorded.
