Moderate north-north-easterly winds during the morning gradually decreased during the day, with temperatures only reaching 13 degrees C, despite sunny conditions throughout. Seawatching was again rewarded, with two Red-throated Divers flying north, 156 Manx Shearwaters and a Bonxie moving in the same direction. Two immature Pomarine Skuas lingered offshore, with 12 Sandwich Terns heading south (and 11 north) and an Arctic Tern flying north.
Two Common Buzzards appeared over the Outer Head and a Black-tailed Godwit visited Thornwick Pool. Passerines included a Coal Tit near the Lighthouse, two Garden Warblers, two Yellow Wagtails, a male Stonechat and two Siskins. In addition, the first-summer male Common Rosefinch sang briefly in the Bay Brambles early afternoon.
