A relatively overcast day, with light northerly winds, occasional light rain and a maximum of 20 degrees C. The morning seawatch was rewarded with 88 Common Scoters, four Arctic Terns, 20 Sandwich Terns, a Sooty Shearwater and 17 Manx Shearwaters. The Thornwick area hosted a Gadwall and a Green Sandpiper. Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Marsh Harrier, four Tufted Duck, 14 Whimbrel and three Minke Whales. Nearby, a Little Egret bizarrely landed briefly in trees at Bempton railway station.
The day’s was notable record related to the headland’s fifth Bedstraw Hawkmoth that fed in a Flamborough village garden.
