A strong easterly blew all day and although the temperature reached 10°C it felt colder.

Seawatching was relatively quiet, highlights being a Teal, a pair of Tufted Duck, seven Common Scoter, two Sandwich Terns and a single Manx Shearwater.

New arrivals were predictably scarce but included the first Common Sandpiper of the year and a Swift.

West of the Dykes, a Whimbrel was at Metlands.
