A light southerly wind, and generally light rain arrived from late morning which then lasted on and off for most of the day. Seawatching produced 111 Fulmars and 93 Manx Shearwaters flying north, together with a Grey Heron, 120 Common Scoters, 15 Sandwich Terns, two Common and two Arctic Terns. In addition, seven immature Pomarine Skuas were present. A first-summer Mediterranean Gull appeared off the Fog Station where the first Razorbill chicks were off the ledges.
A Green Sandpiper at Thornwick Pool probably represented the first returning migrant, whilst the White Wagtail breeding near the Lighthouse remained in residence.
Ahead of the band of rain, 1300 Swifts moved south-east over Buckton in ten minutes.
