A sunny day, with a relatively light northerly wind gradually reducing in strength and temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with 39 Common Scoters, 28 Sandwich Terns, three Common Terns, three Arctic Terns, an Arctic Skua and 26 Manx Shearwaters.
An adult Little Stint that spent most of the morning on Thornwick Pools was an unseasonal treat, while a Common Sandpiper also dropped in. A Hobby flew low over Old Fall in the morning, while another Common Sandpiper frequented Buckton Pond. A Redwing at Oceanview was the most notable passerine record.
