The weather comprised occasional sunny intervals, light showers, a light south-westerly wind and a maximum of 24 degrees C. A flock of seven Glossy Ibis that flew south over the outer head was the undoubted highlght; initially south-east over the Golf Course at 1808hrs, they were last watched moving south low over the sea off South Landing ten minutes later. Presumably the same group had earlier flown south over Hartlepool at 1429hrs and likely to be the same seven seen in Somerset on 25th.
The morning seawatch was rewarded with two juvenile Caspian Gulls, two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls, a Mediterranean Gull, one Little Gull, a Pomarine Skua, 11 Arctic Skuas and a lone Sooty Shearwater. Another Pomarine Skua flew east past South Landing in the afternoon. Elsewhere, two Mute Swans and 47 Tufted Ducks were on Thornwick Lakes. Two Black-tailed Godwits dropped onto North Marsh while the Lighthouse Grassland attracted a Whinchat.
