Another fine clear day. A Water Pipit was trapped and colour-ringed, and on the sea 44 Red-breasted Mergansers passed west, with 12 Eider, 18 Common Scoter, 7 Red-throated Divers, and 6 Great Crested Grebes recorded. Three Water Rails were heard and a Greenshank was of interest, with a Woodcock flushed near the end of the east bank and 2 Tawny Owls calling in the pines. At least 4 Bearded Tits were in the reeds and 2 Rock Pipits, 3 Bramblings, 14 Redpolls and 10 Siskins flew over calling.
