An overcast day, with leaden skies and light north-east winds; temperatures reached 12 degrees C. A singing Marsh Warbler in the Bay Brambles provided the highlight, with an early morning Hobby over the same area. North Marsh attracted a Whinchat.

Seawatching was rewarded with a Blue Fulmar and second calendar-year Yellow-legged Gull moving north, with 47 Common Scoters, 19 Sandwich Terns, an Arctic Skua and 18 Manx Shearwaters also recorded.

Overnight, single Little Ringed Plover and Spotted Flycatcher were sound-recorded over Bempton village.
