Northerly winds strengthened during a day that featured showers and temperatures that dropped to 5 degrees C. Seawatching highlights included 12 Common Scoters flying south, two Whimbrel and two Common Terns north, with eight Sandwich Terns south.

The White-fronted Goose was relocated on Thornwick Fishing Lake and seven Whimbrel were on the headland. A total of 12 Wheatears were still present, whilst a Grasshopper Warbler reeling on the west side of South Dykes was new.
