The month opened with strong westerly winds, there were sunny intervals during the morning and temperatures reached 8 degrees C. A 2nd-calendar year Iceland Gull lingered off the Headland during the morning; the same individual then re-appeared off Sewerby late afternoon and joined a large feeding flock of 7000 Herring Gulls and 500 Gannets. Nearby, the Velvet Scoter was again off South Landing.
