The sun shone throughout the day and the temperature reached 11°C with a light southerly.

Wildfowl continued to include eight Egyptian Geese, a Shoveler, two Gadwall, 73 Wigeon and 92 Teal while Tufted Duck numbers increased to 16. A different, colour-ringed first-winter Caspian Gull was at High Stacks early evening. A small arrival of Chiffchaffs was noted with three in the Bay Brambles / Golf Course Willows area and two at South Landing while a single Fieldfare was presumably making ready to cross the North Sea.

Buckton Pond held three Snipe, a Teal and a Wigeon.
