Morning fog quickly dissipated, leaving a day of sunshine and gentle south-westerlies across the headland. Wildfowl featured during the seawatch, with singles of Wigeon, Pochard and Tufted Duck south, a single Mallard and 11 Common Scoter north. In addition, 11 Red-throated Diver south (one north) and a Blue Fulmar lingered off the Fog Station.

The Bittern continued its stay at Thornwick, though remains elusive. Elsewhere, the two Richard’s Pipits still frequent the first field east of the North Landing car park.
