The weather consisted of light/moderate northerly winds and relatively bright skies, but viewing on the outer head was often hampered by thick fog which impacted on seawatching in particular. A juvenile Caspian Gull attended a boat, while other notable records included 15 Manx Shearwaters north, 53 Oystercatchers south, ten Common Terns north and four Arctic Terns flying south; two Arctic Skuas lingered offshore. Thornwick Pools attracted a Ringed Plover, a Ruff, two Greenshank, six Green Sandpipers, a Snipe and five Dunlin, while 12 Golden Plover and three Whimbrel flew south. A juvenile Marsh Harrier once again toured the headland, while a scattering of passerine migrants included two Reed Warblers on the outer head, together with a Grasshopper Warbler, three Pied Flycatchers and a Redstart. In addition, the Red-tailed Shrike remained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
