A thick sea fret rendered a seawatch impossible and land-based birding almost similar – visibility was poor all day, with viewing conditions exacerbated by strong northerly winds and cool temperatures. Thornwick Pools hosted a Shelduck, five Teal, a Ruff, three Dunlin, a Little Stint and two Redshank. Pied Flycatchers were glimpsed in three locations, including three birds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs where there were also five Willow Warblers.
