There were sunny intervals throughout, with a light/moderate west-north-westerly wind and temperatures reached 18 degrees C. A lone Velvet Scoter moved south past the outer head, where a first-winter Grey Phalarope flew inshore from distance and then lingered throughout the day off the Seawatch Observatory; the Merlin continued to show well along the cliffs in the same area. A Little Owl was a surprise visitor to South Landing, where two Yellow-browed Warblers remained. Additional Yellow-browed Warblers frequented Old Fall, Thornwick and South Dykes (2), while the outer head also attracted a Spotted Flycatcher, one Reed Warbler, a Redstart and two Lesser Redpolls.
