Another overcast day, with occasional spells of light rain reducing visibility at times in moderate northerly winds. Seawatch highlights included four Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 31 Wigeon, 30 Teal, 94 Common Scoters, nine Red-throated Divers, 30 Sooty Shearwaters, two Bar-tailed Godwits, 24 Bonxies and 14 Arctic Skuas all north; a Marsh Harrier and a Mediterranean Gull flew south, with another of the latter species lingering offshore. A Gadwall flew north at South Dykes. Despite focus on the sea, there were also indications of newly arrived passerine migrants: four Pied Flycatchers, a Common Redstart, one Garden Warbler and three Wheatears.
Single Marsh Harrier and Merlin were seen at Buckton, whilst other notable records at nearby RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Pale-bellied Brent Goose, 26 Wigeon, 13 Sooty Shearwaters, a Little Gull, eight Bonxies and five Arctic Skuas moving north-west.
