The weather consisted of largely overcast skies, although with brighter spells in the afternoon and an increasingly strong east-north-easterly wind. Seawatching highlights included 117 dark-bellied Brent Geese (107 south, ten north), 47 Wigeon, four Pintail, 81 Teal, 129 Eider, three Velvet Scoter and three Red-breasted Mergansers all north, 358 Common Scoter (165 north, 193 south) and two Goldeneye south. A Manx Shearwater headed north, as did an Avocet; the latter accompanied a flock of Eider heading north, having been at South Landing earlier. Sixty-six Little Gulls were also recorded (62 north, four south), as were seven Bonxies south.
Away from the sea, a Whooper Swan remained in residence on North Marsh, but three Woodcock were presumably fresh in.
