The weather consisted of light westerly winds and sunshine, although temperatures only just reached one degree C. During the seawatch, a Black-throated Diver and 34 Red-throated Divers flew north. A total of 47 Great Crested Grebes were in the bay near South Dykes, whilst the Short-eared Owl again hunted the Lighthouse Grasslands.

The Black Redstart re-appeared at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with 194 Corn Buntings at nearby Buckton.
