Another overcast day, with a light east-north-easterly wind and occasional thick fog. Seawatching was hampered by the visibility, with seven Sooty Shearwaters moving north, two Velvet Scoters south, a Mediterranean Gull also flying south and a Little Gull flying north.
A Honey Buzzard flew south-west over Old Fall during the morning, whilst a Merlin frequented the Outer Head late on. A Wood Sandpiper also flew over Old Fall, with a first-winter Caspian Gull resting on a field near the Lighthouse.
Passerine migrants included two Barred Warblers (at Old Fall Steps and at the Gorse Field), two Yellow-browed Warblers (Outer Head gardens and Old Fall) and a Wryneck (Old Fall Hedge). Additional migrants included a Cuckoo, two Tree Pipits, a Hawfinch (Old Fall and later over the Chalk Tower) and a Lesser Redpoll, with single figures of Garden Warbler, Redstart and Pied Flycatcher.
Bempton RSPB hosted single Yellow-browed Warbler and Red-breasted Flycatcher, together with a Tree Pipit, two Redwing, three Redstart. Buckton attracted a Green Sandpiper, Fieldfare, two Yellow-browed Warblers, Tree Pipit and four Redstart.
