An overcast day, with light rain in the morning, turning heavier in the afternoon; winds remained light but temperatures low, reaching only 12 degrees C mid-afternoon. During the course of the day, Thornwick Pools hosted a Little Egret, one Grey Heron, the Wigeon, two Dunlin and one Oystercatcher. Presumably the same Little Egret later flew west near Beacon Hill. A three-hour watch at the latter site was rewarded with a substantial movement of Swifts ahead of the cold front, with 1100 flying west.
