It was a day of light/moderate south-westerly winds, overcast skies and persistent rain for the majority of daylight hours. Seawatching highlights included 37 Red-throated Divers flying south, 23 Sooty Shearwaters heading north, 30 Wigeon, 43 Teal, 253 Common Scoters moving north, three Bar-tailed Godwits and a first calendar-year Mediterranean Gull flying south. More notable still, a southerly movement of 1006 Little Gulls took place, all moving south during the evening, including a single flock of 500 birds.
Due to the inclement weather conditions, there were relatively few records from elsewhere, although ten Teal, one Wigeon and a Water Rail were at Thornwick Pools, three Yellow Wagtails on the Golf Course, together with 22 Siskins and four Lesser Redpolls in the Bay Brambles.
