A brisk wind persisted from the South-west throughout the day, pushing a few noteworthy seabirds closer to the island's coasts. Four Balearic Shearwaters, a Leach's Petrel, an Arctic Skua, 11 Mediterranean Gulls, nine Common Gulls, two Sabine’s Gulls, 26 Arctic Terns, two Black Terns and a Puffin were all seen during the day, most of which were among the large feeding flocks of Black-headed Gulls and Kittiwakes. A Lapland Bunting was seen on the West coast in the afternoon, a Reed Warbler remained in Cristin garden and a Reed Bunting was in Ty-Pellaf Withy.
A Clouded Yellow was seen around the Hay fields in the afternoon, this being the first record on the island for several years; a Vestal was trapped in Cristin garden.
