A more pleasant day than of late, with sunny skies during the morning but clouding over later. A moderate easterly wind continued. The sea watch was again conducted from North Landing, where 5 Shelduck, 5 Eider, 20 Red-throated Diver, 382 Fulmar, 565 Gannet, 1 Great Crested Grebe and 363 Kittiwake were logged.
The recent run of Black Redstart sightings continued with a male at the lighthouse. Four Little Gull were battling the strong breeze at South Landing, whilst elsewhere on the headland 22 Wigeon, 82 Teal, a single Jack Snipe and a Woodcock were noted.
