A relatively overcast day, with a seafret in the morning pushed ashore by a light easterly wind; temperatures reached nine degrees C. A flock of ten Bee-eaters that flew north-west along the cliffs at Staple Newk, RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 1314hrs provided the day’s obvious highpoint; a Marsh Harrier flew south-east there and two Whimbrel moved north-west. Elsewhere, a drake Goosander flew south over the outer head, and three Ringed Plovers and the Wood Sandpiper lingered on Thornwick Pools. The only obvious migrant passerines on the outer head were two Spotted Flycatchers. Eight Bottlenose Dolphins headed north, initially past the Fog Station and latterly RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
