Five hours of fairly quiet seawatching produced a Pintail. a Tufted Duck, 14 Grey Plover, ten Little Gulls, eight Mediterranean Gulls, an Arctic Tern, an Arctic Skua and a Great Skua of note. Two first-winter Caspian Gulls came to bread in front of the seawatch hide in the evening. Very little on the land with just 172 Wood Pigeon, a Greenshank and 28 Goldfinches of note.

Seven Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore and a Brown Hare was seen in the Desert.
