Moderate north-easterly winds gradually dropped in strength during a day of sunny intervals and periods of extensive cloud; temperatures again reached eight degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, 28 Common Scoters flew south, whilst an Arctic Skua and eight Little Auks flew north.
Twenty-five Pink-footed Geese toured the headland throughout the day. The two Hume’s Warblers continued to show at both Old Fall and RSPB Bempton Cliffs. A Waxwing lingered at the entrance to Thornwick Camp, with 70 Siskins and 14 Snow Buntings on the outer head.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted one Short-eared Owl, a Willow Warbler, 16 Snow Buntings and three Lapland Buntings, with a Black Redstart at the Chalet Park in the nearby village.
