An overcast day, with light/moderate winds backing from the south-west to the south-east and temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. A southerly movement of 1950 Little Gulls past the outer head took place early afternoon. Additional seawatch records included a Goosander, 38 Golden Plovers and an Arctic Skua also moving south; an adult Mediterranean Gull lingered off the headland.
The Merlin remained, a Black-tailed Godwit frequented Thornwick Pools, a Woodcock was also present, while a Short-eared Owl made landfall at North Landing. Four Bearded Tits, including two adult males, commuted between the reedbeds at Thornwick. Other migrant passerines included a Ring Ouzel in off the sea, three Swallows and a House Martin south, a Black Redstart in a village garden and eight Twite flying south.
Further west, at least one Pallid Swift fed off Buckton Cliffs in the morning, although possibly the same bird was later watched flying high west over Reighton. A Jack Snipe flew in off the sea at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where three Goldeneye represented a notable record.
