A bright start to the day becoming overcast with rain by evening in a fresh to strong south-westerly and a maximum temperature of 14°C.

The morning seawatch produced highlights of three Shelduck, five Eider, nine Common Scoter, six Red-throated Divers and seven Sandwich Terns.

An Alpine Swift flew westwards over the village late morning before being relocated over the North Cliffs late afternoon. A Red Kite came in off near the lighthouse early morning and passed along the south cliffs. The Outer Head also attracted three Yellow Wagtails, the first of spring, nine Wheatears and a Brambling while the Rose-ringed Parakeet remained.

An Osprey headed north high over Bempton village.
