The main feature of the day was undoubtedly the weather: storm force south-westerly winds peaked in strength during the middle part of the day, also accompanied by a thunderstorm and heavy rain; conditions gradually ameliorated to leave moderate/strong winds by the end of the day. The seawatch was relatively quiet, with two Shoveler flying south the best.
Thornwick Pools continued to host two Mute Swans, the Grey Phalarope and a Grey Wagtail. Nearby, the Russian White-fronted Goose and two Pink-footed Geese accompanied the Greylag flock, whilst a Coot on Buckton Pond was unusual.
