A light southerly wind, mainly overcast during the morning, but brighter in the afternoon. Seawatching produced a Blue Fulmar heading north, three Sooty Shearwaters north, four Tufted Duck flying south, 111 Common Scoters north and two Velvet Scoter moving south. Three Pomarine Skuas went south (and one north), an adult Mediterranean Gull flew north and there was an impressive movement of 888 Little Gulls heading south. In addition, a first calendar-year Caspian Gull gave good views around one of the fishing boats early morning.
Two skeins of Pink-footed Geese totalling 102 birds flew south over the headland. Thornwick Pool attracted a Grey Heron, Shoveler and 19 Teal. Passerine migrants included a Redstart in the Gorse Field, but two Jays that headed west over Old Fall Steps towards the village were the high point.
The juvenile Red-backed Shrike continued to show well adjacent to the car-park at Bempton RSPB, where there was also a Merlin.
