The weather consisted of light south-westerly winds, rain until mid-morning which cleared to leave overcast skies whilst the temperature increased from 4 to 13 degrees C. A total of 620 Gannets flew north (and 120 went south) which was double the previous December record day count and a Goldeneye flew south.
Seven Whooper Swans flew south over the Headland, a Little Auk flew east past South Landing and a Short-eared Owl frequented Thornwick; the Pintail also remained on the Pool. Oceanview hosted 82 Tree Sparrows and two Goldcrests, whilst another two Goldcrests were at South Landing and three Stonechats were recorded.
