After a still morning, a light south-easterly wind developed during the afternoon; the skies were mainly overcast with some bright intervals and temperatures reached seven degrees C. A dark-bellied Brent Goose, 53 Wigeon, 27 Teal, two Tufted Ducks and ten Eider flew north during the seawatch, with two Velvet Scoters, two Goldeneye and a Great Northern Diver moving south. A juvenile Glaucous Gull initially on rocks below the North Cliffs later flew past the Fog Station.

An influx of late autumn migrants included 17 Woodcock (one taken by a Peregrine), 235 Blackbirds, ten Fieldfare, 13 Redwing, a Brambling, six Lesser Redpoll, a Siskin, four Lapland Buntings and a Snow Bunting.
