Winds were generally light and from the west, with heavy rain mainly confined to the morning, with occasional showers subsequently and temperatures no higher than 8 degrees C. Two Red-throated Divers and two Sandwich Terns flew north on the seawatch. The Gadwall remained at North Marsh, two Grey Herons were present, with single Ringed Plover and Dunlin at Thornwick Pools. A Hobby also flew over the village. Passerine interest was provided by a Spotted Flycatcher and an acredula Willow Warbler at Old Fall, with a pair of Stonechat and a White Wagtail in the Thornwick area.
