North-west winds were moderate, occasionally strong, during a day of sunny intervals and occasional showers. During the seawatch, six Shelduck and 260 Fulmars flew north, a Whimbrel went south, whilst six Sandwich Terns were also logged (four north, two south).

A Whimbrel was off South Dykes and other new arrivals included a male Pied Flycatcher in Old Fall and a Grasshopper Warbler at South Dykes. Additional migrants included four Willow Warblers, a Whitethroat and eight Blackcaps.
