There were light north-easterly winds throughout another sunny day, with temperatures peaking at 24 degrees C. An Icterine Warbler performed well throughout in the Lighthouse Field commuting between the hedge and the newly sown cover crop. Other notable passerine records included six Pied Flycatchers (inc. three in Old Fall), a Marsh Tit (South Dykes), one Redwing, a Common Redstart, a Whinchat and two Wheatear. A Cory’s Shearwater north past the Fog Station at 1037hrs headlined a seawatch that also produced a Shoveler and 139 Oystercatchers moving south and a Mediterranean Gull north. Thornwick Pools hosted seven Green Sandpipers, two Greenshank, a Redshank and five Dunlin; another Greenshank frequented the shore below the South Cliffs where a Green Sandpiper also flew south, along with 31 Whimbrel. It was a quieter day at Bempton, where the Red-tailed Shrike remained along with one Pied Flycatcher.
