The day began with a light northerly wind and sunny skies, but ended with still conditions amid a brief thunderstorm. A Long-tailed Skua flew south during a morning seawatch that also featured a first-winter Caspian Gull and a lone Marsh Harrier. Two Balearic Shearwaters lingered off the Seawatch Observatory in the evening before flying north, while three Pintail headed in the opposite direction. The long-staying Merlin also flew past the Fog Station in the evening. There were scant signs of passerine migrants, although 120 Meadow Pipits and five Wheatear were present.
Sightings from Bempton included two Short-eared Owls, 55 Meadow Pipits and 13 Siskin.
