Another day of strong south-westerlies and overcast skies. Temperatures slowly rose throughout the day reaching 11C by late afternoon.
There was scant reward for seawatching with 12 Red-throated Divers being the highlight while 74 Purple Sandpipers were present on the rocks at Stacks.
Common Gulls put in an impressive count with 2742 seen from the southern cliffs between South Landing and Cattlemere with a Mediterranean Gull, 3 Common Scoter, an Eider and 37 Red-throated Divers also present. The cliff top at Cattlemere also held 4 Snow Buntings and 2 Lapland Buntings. A single Stonechat was near North Landing.
Two Short-eared Owls continued to hunt across the fields on the reserve at Bempton Cliffs.
