A day of strong north-westerly winds promised a good seawatch, but thick fog and zero visibility put paid to the chances of anything. Thornwick Pools hosted three Wigeon, 17 Teal, a Grey Heron, one Knot, a Green Sandpiper, seven Dunlin and a Snipe. A male Redstart was the only notable migrant located in the gloom.
