The day was marked by relatively calm conditions with light and variable winds beginning stronger in the NW and veering round and decreasing through west to south-west. A Yellow-browed Warbler found in the early evening in the outer head gardens was the top single migrant, though Meadows Pipits were the bigger migration event with some 1200+ moving through the outer headland over the day. These were accompanied by a small scattering of other migrants: seven Swifts, Redstarts peaked at 6, plus 6 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, 1 White Wagtail, 1 Willow Warbler, 4 Goldcrest, 20 Siskin and 12 Redpoll.
Over the sea 3 Sooty Shearwater flew north, and also seen were 2 Manx Shearwater, 8 Arctic Skua, 3 Bonxie, 23 Common Scoter and 46 Red-throated Diver.
Buckton recorded a similar large movement of Meadow Pipits plus single Redstart, Grey Wagtail and Blackcap, 2 Wheatear, 2 Goldcrest and 4 Whinchat.
Overnight sound recording near the lighthouse indicated a movement of Sandwich Terns in several waves.
