The day started with moderate north-westerly winds and heavily overcast skies. However, winds dropped in strength during the day and evening sunshine heralded a change. Seawatching highlights included three Pintail, a Great Northern Diver, two Manx Shearwaters and 17 Sandwich Terns flying north, whilst three Velvet Scoters moved south.
The White-fronted Goose accompanied the Greylags in the Thornwick area, where a Common Sandpiper and two Little Ringed Plovers were also present. Late afternoon a Wood Sandpiper was located along Lighthouse Road on the small pool opposite Old Fall Steps. Another new arrival, a Hobby appeared over the village on two occasions. Passerine interest was headlined by the continued presence of the Siberian Stonechat at South Landing. Other sightings included a Fieldfare, one Ring Ouzel, a White Wagtail and a Brambling.
