Winds initially light and from the west backed south-easterly in the middle of the day and strengthened to near gale force; a belt of driving rain also arrived mid-afternoon and temperatures reached six degrees C. A Shoveler, 30 Red-throated Divers and single Golden Plover and Knot flew south during the morning’s seawatch, whilst a lone Siskin also overflew the Fog Station. Thornwick Lakes continued to host a Mute Swan and a Goldeneye, with 44 Teal at nearby Thornwick Pools. A Pale-bellied Brent Geese frequented the beach at South Landing, where a Woodcock was in the adjacent ravine.
