Winds had decreased in strength to leave a light/moderate north-easterly and mainly overcast conditions. Seawatching was rewarding with highlights including 20 Red-throated Divers flying south, a summer-plumaged Black-throated Diver heading north, 16 Sooty Shearwaters and a Balearic Shearwater heading in the same direction, whilst two dark-bellied Brent Geese and two Goldeneye went south. A juvenile Pomarine Skua flew south, together with 73 Bonxies and an adult Mediterranean Gull. The drake Velvet Scoter again gave good views close inshore off Old Fall.
The Siberian Stonechat showed relatively well in the Cattlemere area south of the Lighthouse, whilst the Dusky Warbler gave sporadic views between spells of being typically elusive along the southern end of Old Fall Hedge. The bulk of the crests appeared to have vacated the wooded areas, although a Yellow-browed Warbler remained at Old Fall. The Barred Warbler was relocated in the bushes alongside the Lighthouse. Two Great Grey Shrikes toured the Outer Head, whilst migrants also included three Short-eared Owls.
West of the Dykes, 15 Barnacle Geese were recorded at Buckton along with a Short-eared Owl.
