A day of sunny intervals and showers, moderate south-westerly winds and temperatures that peaked at 20 degrees C. Waders again moved south during the morning seawatch including 62 Dunlin and 12 Redshank. A total of 123 Common Scoters also flew past the outer head, together with 40 Sandwich Terns, four Arctic Terns and 41 Manx Shearwaters. A Green Sandpiper and two Common Sandpipers were at Thornwick Pools, while a Great White Egret overflew Church Lane on the southern edge of the village early morning.
