A day of sunny intervals, increasing levels of cloud and a strengthening southerly wind, whilst temperatures reached 12 degrees C. During the seawatch, six Red-throated Divers, five Manx Shearwaters and three Sandwich Terns flew north. Surprisingly the best seabirds were seen elsewhere – a summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver flew north over Flatmere, whilst two Little Terns headed south over Breil Nook. Elsewhere, a Pink-footed Goose visited Thornwick Lakes, with a lone Common Sandpiper at Thornwick Pools. A Reed Warbler singing in a hedge near Flatmere represented the only notable migrant passerine. A Marsh Harrier hunted the fields adjacent to Hoddy Cows Lane at Buckton.
