Sunny skies in the morning were superceded by increased cloud and a band of showers in the afternoon; light winds were generally from the north-west and temperatures reached 19 degrees C. Seawatching was quieter, with a strong northerly movement of Common Terns the most obvious feature: 559 flying north were accompanied by a lone Black Tern. Additional sightings included a Balearic Shearwater, two Sooty Shearwaters, one Ruff, two juvenile Caspian Gulls and a Little Gull, while two Minke Whales were lunge feeding offshore. The juvenile female Merlin was seen from the Seawatch Observatory once again.
The Greenish Warbler remained in the Golf Course Willows alongside a Pied Flycatcher. However, in local context, a Marsh Tit in the same area was much rarer.
A Willow Emerald damselfly was the sixth reserve record at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull, a Short-eared Owl and three Minke Whales were also recorded from there.
