A moderate northerly wind featured throughout a largely foggy day. The Temminck’s Stint continued in residence at Thornwick Pools, where there were also eight Ringed Plovers, one Little Ringed Plover, single Sanderling and Redshank. The Dotterel also remained and gave good views on Beacon Hill, favouring the field west of the public footpath. Passerine migrants included six Wheatears, two Spotted Flycatchers, and lone Tree Pipit and Reed Warbler; the latter two birds at Whelkie Winds.
