A sunny day, with a moderate west-north-westerly wind and temperatures peaking at ten degrees C. Gannet numbers continued to rise, with 415 birds representing a significant return. Nine Whooper Swans included the long-staying duo; additional wildfowl sightings included three Mute Swans, 42 Wigeon, 101 Teal and a drake Pochard. Two Water Rails included one at Thornwick Pools, where the over-wintering Bittern roosted at dusk, while six Lapwing were on fields near Oceanview.
