Some sunny intervals, but generally a bright overcast with some heavy showers; a relatively light southerly wind and maximum of 18 degrees C. A foraging Nightjar at South Landing at dusk represented the day’s best sighting. Additional migrants included two Swift, a Spotted Flycatcher and 11 Yellow Wagtails. A further eight Yellow Wagtails and a Whinchat were recorded at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.

Seawatching was rewarded with four Arctic Skuas, a Bonxie, 11 Little Gulls, two Mediterranean Gulls and eight Red-throated Divers.
