A moderate to strong north north westerly drove occasional showers and infrequent sunny intervals. The temperature struggled to reach 10C.
As expected, seawatching was the main attraction for the day. A Sooty Shearwater flew north and skuas were represented by 6 Great, 6 Arctic and a Pomarine, all south. Single Great Northern Divers flew on each direction while 63 Red-throats passed south. Limited numbers of wildfowl passed, highlights being a Dark-bellied Brent Goose, 2 Pink-footed Geese and 2 Goldeneye. Eight Mediterranean Gulls and eight Little Gulls were also seen. Passerine migration was also evident with 193 Starlings, a Brambling, 28 Siskin and 3 Snow Buntings all witnessed making landfall.
Away from the Fog Station, highlights included three Woodcock, a Shoveler and 29 Common Scoter at South Landing, 2 Brambling, 14 Siskin, 54 Redwing and over 60 Blackbirds.
