A moderate/strong northerly wind pushed a series of heavy snow showers ashore during the morning, with sunny intervals later and morning temperatures no higher than three degrees C. A Blue Fulmar lingered offshore on an otherwise quiet seawatch. The sheltered bay between South Landing and South Dykes attracted two Great Northern Divers, four Great Crested Grebes, three Red-breasted Mergansers, seven Common Scoters and two Long-tailed Ducks. Thornwick Pools hosted a Ringed Plover and two Little Ringed Plovers.
