Another dull and overcast day, with occasional drizzle, a light northerly wind and temperatures that reached six degrees C. Fifty Red-throated Divers were off the outer head, where two Goldeneyes also flew north. A skein of 40 Pink-footed Geese flew south over the Dykes. The Mute Swan remained on Thornwick Lakes, whilst single Goldeneye and Tufted Duck were in residence on Thornwick Pools.
