A relatively light north-westerly wind veered south-easterly later, with sunny intervals and heavy showers in the afternoon; temperatures reached eight degrees C. Three Red-throated Divers, four Manx Shearwaters, three Whimbrel, seven Sandwich Terns, six Common Terns and two Arctic Terns were recorded on the seawatch. A Common Sandpiper remained at Thornwick Pools and four Whimbrel flew north over the headland. Despite temperatures remaining low, surprisingly there was a smattering of passerine migrants including seven Ring Ouzels (including two at Sewerby golf course), a Redwing, the long-staying Grasshopper Warbler, two Garden Warblers, 11 Lesser Whitethroats, 16 Wheatears, a Spotted Flycatcher, a male Pied Flycatcher, three Whinchats, eight Common Redstarts (seven males, one female) and two Corn Buntings. A Little Egret and three Swifts overflew Bempton village.
