A calm start to the day before the northerly breeze increased in strength. It was cloudy and overcast in the early morning but had become a much sunnier day in the afternoon. 

It was a quieter day for grounded migrant with the totals amassing to two Pied Flycatchers at Nant, 16 Willow Warblers, three Chiffchaffs, three Sedge Warblers and a single Goldfinch. 10 Ringed Plovers, six Dunlins, 14 Turnstones, 43 Curlews, three Whimbrels and singles of Common Sandpiper, Redshank and Sanderling were recorded. 18 Sandwich Terns remained offshore and 21 Black-headed Gulls and eight Mediterranean Gulls were around the coast. 

Another Clouded Yellow in the Wetlands was a good find, a Speckled Wood was at Nant and six Painted Ladies and seven Red Admirals were logged, whilst a Silver Y was buzzing around Pen Cristin. Three Migrant Hawkers were recorded across the island with singles at Nant, Pen Cristin and the Observatory. The Grey Seal pup on the West Coast was still going strong and three Porpoises and six Risso's Dolphins passed off the North End.

In the evening, the students got together for a game of football on the Narrows, with a very close 5-3 score recorded before the failing light stopped play. Fortunately, the pink football was quite bright!
