A light north-westerly wind backed west during a day of prolonged sunny intervals and temperatures peaking at a mere three degrees C. Seawatch highlights included eight Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 20 Eiders, 75 Red-throated Divers, one Black-throated Diver, a Red-necked Grebe, six Northern Herring Gulls, a Bonxie, seven Little Auks and 49 Puffins flying north; a Great Northern Diver flew south past the outer head, where single Mediterranean Gull and Little Auk lingered.
In addition, a Great Northern Diver flew north over the village having overflown Beacon Hill and another flew east past South Dykes. A Goldeneye remained on Thornwick Lakes, with two Chiffchaffs, 15 Siskin and a Brambling at South Landing. A Blackcap and seven Siskin were at Oceanview, whilst a lone Snow Bunting fed on the cliff top alongside the edge of the golf course.
