A moderate west-north-westerly wind produced a very quiet seawatch: a Common Scoter, 76 Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern flew north.

Elsewhere, a Pintail and a Merlin were at North Marsh, with two Ringed Plover, 13 Dunlin and the Wood Sandpiper on Thornwick Pools, with two Cuckoos also in the vicinity. South Landing attracted single Eider and Shelduck, together with four Dunlin and a Ringed Plover.
