Moderate/strong westerly winds were a feature throughout a sunny day with temperatures reaching 21 degrees C. It proved to be a record-breaking day for Pink-footed Geese, with 6885 moving south; the majority flying past the outer head well out at sea, with smaller numbers passing over the headland itself. Four Sooty Shearwaters and five Arctic Skuas were the other notable seawatch records. Thornwick Pools attracted a Whooper Swan, four Wigeon, 43 Teal, the long-staying Spotted Redshank and Green Sandpiper, four Dunlin and nine Snipe. The Black-browed Albatross again frequented RSPB Bempton Cliffs during the morning; a Black-tailed Godwit also flew south-east over the reserve, whilst three Black Darter dragonflies there were unusual.
