The weather consisted of light south-east winds, overcast skies, a sea fret occasionally drifting ashore and temperatures eventually reaching 11 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, five Whimbrel, five Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern flew north. A Short-eared Owl hunted fields near North Marsh. Despite overnight rain, passerine migrants were notable by their absence, and the following meagre total were recorded: two Whinchat, one Wheatear, a Tree Pipit, six Yellow Wagtails and three Siskin. Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included two Willow Warblers, two Wheatears, a Spotted Flycatcher and a Tree Pipit flying north-west.
