Westerly winds increased in strength throughout the day, with sunny intervals from early afternoon, after an overcast start; temperatures reached seven degrees C. Little moved past the headland during the morning seawatch, although large feeding flocks were present and included 400 Gannets, 200 Cormorants and several thousand Guillemots. The Russian White-fronted Goose remained, as did the far more elusive Jay which showed again at South Dykes; only the fourth sighting since the start of the year. A Short-eared Owl and two Snow Buntings were seen at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
