With very light southerly winds, overcast skies and misty conditions seawatching was slow: a Great Crested Grebe flew south and 19 Purple Sandpipers were below the fog station, where the male Black Redstart remained.

Seventeen Pink-footed Geese flew south over the outer head, three Velvet Scoter and three Long-tailed Ducks were on the sea between South Landing and South Dykes, whilst a Woodcock was at Oceanview.
