The weather consisted of mainly overcast skies, a light/moderate southerly wind and temperatures that peaked at 12 degrees C. A Water Pipit immediately east of South Landing represented an excellent discovery; a species whose records are less than annual. It was accompanied by 51 Rock Pipits of which at least eight were Scandinavian. Elsewhere, three Water Rails were in residence, while the recent influx of Great Crested Grebes was again obvious, with 18 birds off South Landing. Wader interest included ten Lapwings, a Golden Plover, 25 Snipe and five Woodcock. The two Shore Larks were still on the cliff top north-west of Thornwick, while 75 Snow Buntings were split between 68 there and seven on Beacon Hill. Adding a touch of the exotic, an Alexandrine Parakeet toured the outer head.
A skein of 65 Pink-footed Geese flew north-west over Bempton, where 39 Golden Plovers, three Short-eared Owls and two Grey Wagtails were also present.
