The weather comprised strong westerly winds and sunny intervals. During the seawatch, 22 Common Scoter, a Manx Shearwater, 94 Sandwich Terns, two Common Terns and seven Arctic Terns flew north.

Thornwick Pools hosted the Wood Sandpiper, one Ringed Plover, a juvenile Little Ringed Plover, seven Dunlin and two Snipe, with a juvenile Merlin and a Cuckoo in the vicinity.

Elsewhere, a Little Egret overflew Oceanview, whilst an adult Yellow-legged Gull roosted on the Golf Course.
