The weather consisted of moderate south-westerly winds, sunny intervals after an overcast start and temperatures that peaked at ten degrees C. Seawatch highlights included several thousand Guillemots flying south; a Mute Swan, one Great Northern Diver and a Dunlin also moved south past the headland. Thornwick Pools attracted 154 Teal, with a lone Jack Snipe nearby. Two Water Rails remained near the Lighthouse, a Woodcock was in a garden near South Landing and a single Fieldfare flew in off the sea.
