Strong northerly winds and overcast conditions proved conducive to seawatching once again. A total of 580 Manx Shearwaters flew north, together with 304 Fulmars, 111 Common Scoters, a Whimbrel and a 3rd-calendar year Pomarine Skua. An Arctic Skua went south, whilst four Bonxies headed north, together with 24 Arctic Terns.

Elsewhere, 450 Common Scoters remained in Bridlington Bay off South Landing, with Thornwick Pool attracting two Teal, a Tufted Duck and seven Dunlin.
