An overcast morning with occasional showers some of a wintry nature, brighter intervals later and temperatures reaching a mere 4.5 degrees C. The morning seawatch was productive with two Velvet Scoters, 42 Red-throated Divers, two Great Northern Divers, a Blue Fulmar, one Manx Shearwater, a Grey Plover and 488 Kittiwakes flying north; a pair of Goosander flew south.
North Marsh and environs hosted a Barnacle Goose, two Shelduck, 49 Wigeon, 74 Teal, a Coot, ten Curlew, a Lapwing and an Oystercatcher. A Great Northern Diver and three Long-tailed Ducks were on the sea off Booted Gully and two Woodcock skulked in South Landing; another Woodcock was seen at Whelkie Wynds. An influx of Redwing was apparent with 72 present, with the Snow Bunting remaining on the cliff top east of South Landing.
