To the south were 49 different Gannets, 9 Cormorants, 5 Brent Geese, 4 Common Terns, 5 Red-throated Divers, 2 Great Crested Grebes and a Great Skua. A feeding movement of Little Gulls was also observed. Ca. 80 in one flock came in from the north, leisurely picking from and pattering along the surface of the sea. They gradually drew further out to sea and returned to the NE in buoyant twisting and turning flight.

A further 45 Common Scoters and a Red-throated Diver were seen on the sea, as was the Slavonian Grebe initially. Birds onshore included 10 more Cormorants, 11 Sanderling, 80 Dunlin and 146 Curlews.
