Another overcast day, with occasional light drizzle; it was milder than of late, with temperatures reaching 12 degrees C in a very light south-westerly wind. Seawatch highlights included two Mute Swans, two Pink-footed Geese, a Great Northern Diver, a Manx Shearwater and four Northern Herring Gulls flying south. The female Velvet Scoter remained off the South Cliffs, a Lapwing frequented flood near North Marsh and three Woodcocks were located on the outer head. A total of 20 Redwing and 43 Fieldfare almost certainly represented new arrivals, whilst other notable passerine records included five Stonechats, the lingering male Black Redstart, 67 Greenfinch and a Snow Bunting. Two Short-eared Owls continued to perform at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
