A south-west wind increased in strength during a day that started sunny, with cloud building in the afternoon; temperatures reached five degrees C. Highlights of the morning seawatch included a Black-throated Diver flying north, with lone Long-tailed Duck and Great Northern Diver moving south.
Single Long-tailed Duck and Goldeneye sheltered on the sea off South Dykes, where two Whooper Swans also flew south. Five Short-eared Owls hunted the cliff top between RSPB Bempton Cliffs and Thornwick, with the former location favoured. The long-staying Ring Ouzel also remained at Bempton, with the male Black Redstart at the Fog Station.
