It was a foggy start to a day of otherwise unbroken cloud, light onshore winds and temperatures peaking at 21 degrees C. Juvenile Yellow-legged and Caspian Gulls were off the outer head, where a Mediterranean Gull, 33 Sandwich Terns, six Common Terns, six Arctic Terns and an Arctic Skua were recorded during the seawatch. Thornwick Pools attracted six Green Sandpipers, a Snipe and a Greenshank. Two Marsh Harriers were over the outer head, with the same number recorded at Bempton; the Red-tailed Shrike remained in residence there, where a Pied Flycatcher, 31 Willow Warblers, a Reed Warbler and a Whinchat were also present.
