Overcast skies predominated, although the day ended with sunny spells; there were light south-west winds and a top temperature of 23 degrees C. Single Little Egret and Bar-tailed Godwit were at South Landing. A juvenile Yellow-legged Gull followed a fishing boat off Thornwick Nab and a juvenile Caspian Gull visited Thornwick Lakes.

Three juvenile Marsh Harriers together flew north-west at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, while a Hobby chased hirundines over the nearby village. A Common Sandpiper dropped onto Buckton Pond, where a covey of 11 Grey Partridges were present.
