A misty start with drizzle and temperatures of 12 degrees C in the morning, thundery showers early afternoon and the day ended with prolonged sunshine and a high of 21 degrees C. The run of Bee-eater sightings continued, with a lone bird moving south-east over Old Fall at 1230hrs, while a female Red-backed Shrike at South Landing was new for the year. Elsewhere, a Gadwall dropped onto Thornwick Pools and three Corn Buntings lingered on the outer head.
A movement of Swifts was evident at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with a total of 61 heading south-east; the Black-browed Albatross was seen on the sea off the same site.
