Sunny throughout, with a light onshore breeze developing which pegged back temperatures to a high of 12 degrees C. Two Mute Swans and 24 Tufted Ducks were in residence on Thornwick Lakes, with a drake Shoveler and lone Lapwing near North Marsh. A Water Rail was still present along Hartendale Gutter, but five Sand Martins at the breeding colony between South Dykes and Sewerby were fresh in, as was a House Martin at South Landing. A Black Redstart at the Chalk Tower was also new. Elsewhere, a White Wagtail was south-west of Buckton.
