An overcast day that ended with heavy showers, with light south-west winds throughout. During the seawatch, two dark-bellied Brent Geese, 269 Common Scoters, two Red-throated Divers, 90 Manx Shearwaters, one Little Gull and 35 Sandwich Terns flew north, with nine Shelduck and a Common Tern heading south. In addition, seven Eider were on the sea off the Fog Station.
