An overcast, foggy start soon gave way to brighter skies, temperatures reaching 20 degrees C in a southerly wind. Seawatching was rewarded with a Balearic Shearwater, two Sooty Shearwaters and a first-winter Caspian Gull flying north; a total of 130 Teal and 16 Wigeon moved south.
Six Whooper Swans continued to frequent fields on the outer head, with a skein of 100 Pink-footed Geese flying south. Thornwick Pools hosted 46 Teal, four Wigeon, single Spotted Redshank and Green Sandpiper, together with two Dunlin and nine Snipe; 11 Lapwing and a Snipe overflew South Dykes.
