A south-easterly wind gathered in strength during a day that featured increasing amounts of cloud. Seawatching highlights included two Gadwall, two Tufted Ducks, 17 Common Scoters and 19 Sandwich Terns flying south.
A Pink-footed Goose and three Tufted Ducks frequented North Marsh, whilst a summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver flew ‘north’ along the cliff at Old Fall. Wader interest included three Whimbrel, three Dunlin, single Common Sandpipers below the Fog Station and at Thornwick Pools, where there was also a Little Ringed Plover. A Hobby hunted over the village early morning and notable passerines included a Grasshopper Warbler at South Dykes and a Whinchat at Thornwick.
