A day of sunny intervals, a blustery southerly wind developing after a calm start and a peak of 20 degrees C. Five Pintail flew south during a seawatch that also featured three Arctic Skuas and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull. South Landing attracted a juvenile Mediterranean Gull and five juvenile Caspian Gulls, together with eight Dunlin and a Sanderling.

There was also evidence of passerines on the move, with single Tree Pipit, Common Redstart, Reed Warbler and Garden Warbler on the outer head along with increased numbers of Willow Warblers.
