A brighter morning and a check of the land produced four Shovelers on the Long Pits, a Snipe and two Chiffchaffs of note. The morning seawatch was slow-going with just 161 Brent Geese and two Wigeon of interest.

Two Porpoise and two Grey Seals were feeding offshore.

The drake American Wigeon had moved back to Scotney.
