The island was battered by strong westerly winds for much of the day, but light rain cleared up leaving a beautiful sunny evening. 

The Hoopoe was still present, seen feeding on the Lord's Path by a guest. A Swallow was seen circling around the courtyard at Plas, a House Martin flew over the South End, 16 'Alba' Wagtails around the Narrows including some White Wagtails, along with a Black-headed Gull

The highlights of an hour and a half spent seawatching from the South End hide were 15 Fulmars, 400 Manx Shearwaters, 34 Gannets, 35 Guillemots and 64 Razorbills
