It was a much cooler day, with light south-easterly winds, increased cloud cover with sunny intervals and temperatures peaking at 17 degrees C. During the seawatch 43 Common Scoters and six Manx Shearwaters flew north, whilst a Balearic Shearwater moved south.

Thornwick Pools attracted single Little Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper, whilst a Whimbrel frequented the beach at South Landing. A Cuckoo was present on nearby Beacon Hill.
