A Grey Wagtail headed northwest over Millcombe at dawn, with three Firecrest and a Sparrowhawk also logged in Millcombe throughout the day. Three Siskin were a notable sighting with limited finch migration recorded this autumn. A Lapwing was seen around Ackland's Moor. One Wheatear was reported, and a Spotted Flycatcher frequented the Teasels in the village. A Cormorant was seen on the water at Pondsbury, and a single Grey Heron flew south past the terrace in the afternoon. Seawatching produced 92 Gannet, 4 Kittiwake, and 5 Auk sp. . The Short-toed Lark was also seen for the 13th day.
