Light easterly winds throughout a sunny day, with temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. Two dark-bellied Brent Geese north past the Fog Station were unseasonal, less so the three Spoonbills that flew south over the outer head 1430-1435hrs. Thornwick Pools attracted the year’s first Wood Sandpiper, a Ringed Plover, one Little Ringed Plover and two Oystercatchers. An Icterine Warbler was located by a visiting birder south of Old Fall early afternoon, but there was no subsequent sign; three Wheatears and a Spotted Flycatcher also frequented the outer head. On the western fringe of the recording area, a sub-adult male Marsh Harrier flew south-east at Speeton.
