The weather consisted of light/moderate northerly winds, cloudy intervals and temperatures that peaked at 12 degrees C. During the seawatch, two Whimbrel and four Sandwich Terns flew south, with a Bonxie moving north. 

North Marsh hosted two Tufted Ducks, with Thornwick Pools attracting single Black-tailed Godwit, two Little Ringed Plovers, Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper, together with three Reed Warblers. Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Short-eared Owl, and there were two Grasshopper Warblers at Buckton, both singing.
