An overcast morning before a belt of rain arrived and cleared late afternoon. Maximum temperatures of 10 degrees C felt cool in the moderate/strong westerly wind. An above average seawatch produced eight Red-throated Divers flying south, a Manx Shearwater moving north, two Shoveler heading south, 104 Common Scoters south, two Velvet Scoters flying south, one Arctic Skua and five Sandwich Terns north.
Passerine migrants were thin on the ground, but included 13 Chiffchaffs, a Goldcrest, four Wheatears, a Ring Ouzel at North Landing and a Willow Warbler there.
The Rough-legged Buzzard was again present in the Buckton area, with single Merlin, Short-eared Owl and Wheatear at the same location.
