Sunny with light/moderate onshore winds capping temperatures to a pleasant maximum of 23 degrees C. Three calling Quail were in residence on the outer head, where a juvenile Little Egret flew west. A redhead Goosander flew east past South Dykes, while a Cuckoo was nearby at Beacon Hill. Late evening, a further three Quail were singing from fields near Speeton.
