Blustery south-south-west winds featured during a day of sunny intervals and temperatures that peaked at 15 degrees C. Feeding flocks attracted two Mediterranean Gulls, three Common Terns and five Arctic Terns; an Arctic Skua flew north, as did a lone Goosander. A Little Egret overflew South Landing, where an Arctic Tern fed offshore, while several hundred Pink-footed Geese again flew north over the Dykes to feed in cliff top fields. Locating passerines proved difficult in the strong winds, although three Yellow-browed Warblers were still in residence, with other totals including nine Redwing, 11 Goldcrests, a Brambling and two Lesser Redpoll.
