Winds were light and from the south-west, with bright, but generally overcast skies. Seawatching produced eight Common Scoter moving north, 17 Oystercatcher, 17 Dunlin, 17 Whimbrel and 17 Redshank all flying south. Single Bonxie and Little Gull flew south, whilst 47 Sandwich Terns headed north.
Two Little Ringed Plovers, four Dunlin, four Yellow Wagtails and one Grey Wagtail frequented Thornwick Pools, with another Little Ringed Plover on the Outer Head. A Short-eared Owl overflew South Landing, the year’s first Cuckoo (!) flew from South Landing towards Lighthouse Road and two juvenile Stonechats were on the Outer Head, as were two Lesser Redpolls.
