After heavy rain early morning, the skies cleared to leave a largely sunny afternoon, with winds moderate/strong from the west. Seawatching records included six Teal, 13 Common Scoter, two Manx Shearwaters and a Little Ringed Plover.
North Marsh/Thornwick Pools shared a Mute Swan, seven Teal, two Dunlin and a Little Ringed Plover. A total of 262 Swifts flew south, whilst the juvenile Cuckoo remained near the Lighthouse. More unusually, a Saker was seen in flight over North Marsh; it appeared to be sporting a satellite-tag from origins unknown.
West of the Dykes, a Hobby, juvenile Wheatear and five Yellow Wagtails were recorded from Buckton/Bempton.
