Sunny intervals eventually prevailed after a foggy morning; there were light south/south-south-east winds and a temperature high of ten degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with two Gadwall and two Long-tailed Ducks flying south and five Goosanders moving north. Seven Whooper Swans flew south over the headland, whilst 70 Purple Sandpipers and 11 Snipe were in residence. A Short-eared Owl frequented the Thornwick area. Eight Fieldfares, a Redwing and 250 Starlings were observed coming in off the sea from mid-afternoon. Additional passerine interest included eight Stonechat and a Lapland Bunting.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Short-eared Owl and a Siberian Chiffchaff.
