Overcast once again, with frequent showers, a moderate northerly wind and maximum of eight degrees C. Five Sooty Shearwaters flew north during a seawatch that also saw a Great Northern Diver moving south, four Eider, ten Little Gulls, a Manx Shearwater and a Bonxie. A Snow Bunting flew in off the sea, while another single was on the cliff edge by the golf course.

Elsewhere, the Russian White-fronted Goose and lone Pink-foot accompanied the Greylag flock at Thornwick Lakes. Two dark-bellied Brent Geese lingered in fields at Hartendale. Wader interest included two Bar-tailed Godwits, two Sanderling and 14 Ringed Plovers. Five Chiffchaffs and four Goldcrests were also in residence.
