Light winds veered from the north-west to the east during a sunny day, with temperatures peaking at 12 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, 74 Common Scoters flew south, with two Great Northern Divers, five Manx Shearwaters, nine Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern heading in the opposite direction. Other notable sightings included the lone Pink-footed Goose at Thornwick Lakes, two Garden Warblers and one Redstart. The male Red-backed Shrike continued to show well if rather distantly at times at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Little Egret flew south.
