Scattered clouds were driven on a blustery northerly with the temperature not rising above a predictably cool 10°C.

A Bonxie and two Goosander passed the Fog Station and the male Black Redstart remained there. Thornwick Pools still held two Little Ringed Plovers, a Pintail and two Gadwall while a Mealy Redpoll was at South Landing. Two Whimbrels were also noted along the southern cliffs.
