Unsettled weather dominated the day with rain coming through during the morning along with strong gusting winds from the south-east. The birding highlight came early doors with a Common Rosefinch calling away in the Cristin garden and showing briefly before vanishing. A few of these birds have been turning up elsewhere in the country over the past week.

Offshore, a brief movement of 101 Sandwich Terns, 36 Arctic Terns and two Common Scoters was noted but passage soon dried up. A single Teal was loitering with some Oystercatchers on the South End. A few waders were also present with a good count of 16 Sanderlings on Solfach along with eight Ringed Plovers, six Turnstones, five Bar-tailed Godwits, three Redshanks, three Dunlins and a Common Sandpiper. At least 39 Curlews were around the island, with a flock congregating on Pen Cristin, 14 Whimbrels were also mainly scattered around the Narrows and the West Coast and a Golden Plover flew over the Wetlands. 

Passerines were thin on the ground but a Pied Flycatcher remained in the Observatory garden and a  Blackcap was at Pen Cristin. Commoner migrants included seven Goldcrests, four Wheatears, three White Wagtails, two Willow Warblers and a Chiffchaff.

Two Painted Ladies were seen at Nant.
