A bright day with prolonged sunny intervals, a light/moderate south-westerly wind and high of 21 degrees C. The morning seawatch witnessed 67 Teal and a Sooty Shearwater moving south, with two 1st calendar-year Caspian Gulls and 2100 Common Terns heading north. An evening watch was rewarded with two Black Terns feeding offshore before moving south along with 3634 Commic Terns, 308 Sandwich Terns, a Little Gull, 23 Arctic Skuas and two Bonxies; three Sooty Shearwaters also flew north. Elsewhere, a juvenile Merlin hunted the outer head, where a second calendar-year Caspian Gull rested on stubble and a Short-eared Owl hunted the cliff top near the Seawatch Observatory. The long-staying Redstart lingered at the Roadside Pool.
A Hobby overflew Bempton village, with sightings at the nearby reserve including eight Willow Warblers, a Pied Flycatcher, one Wheatear and five Yellow Wagtails. The Garganey remained on Buckton Pond.
