Another relatively overcast day, with occasional light rain, a moderate southerly wind and temperatures reaching 18 degrees C. During the morning seawatch, 89 Common Scoters, 26 Manx Shearwaters, two Sanderling, eight Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern all flew south; a Bonxie remained offshore. Thornwick Pools hosted a pair of Tufted Ducks, one Redshank, two Ringed Plovers, two Little Ringed Plovers and a Dunlin; a Bar-tailed Godwit was present at South Landing. Single creamcrown Marsh Harrier and Hobby were seen at North Dykes, with presumably another Hobby present at Old Fall. The Bee-eater made another appearance near RSPB Bempton Cliffs mid-afternoon, watched over fields south off the reserve. Almost as rare nowadays, a Turtle Dove visited a garden near Sewerby.
