The weather consisted moderate south-south-westerly winds and overcast skies, with milder temperatures. Seawatching was quiet, with 60 Red-throated Divers offshore, five Purple Sandpipers below the Fog Station and a single Puffin flying south.

The Pink-foot and White-fronted Goose remained in residence, as were three Gadwall. The gull roost contained 1040 Common Gulls and 210 Black-headed Gulls, whilst the three Richard’s Pipits were still present.
