A brief respite from the incessant easterly airstream, with light variable winds, sunny intervals in the morning and a best of six degrees C. A Goosander and three Great Crested Grebes flew south during the seawatch. Wildfowl interest on the headland included 14 (12+2) Tundra Bean Geese, 52 Eurasian White-fronted Geese, a Barnacle Goose, four Pink-footed Geese, three Gadwall and 117 Teal. In addition, a Water Rail skulked in Hartendale Gutter and 24 Woodcock were on the outer head.
Two Short-eared Owls hunted fields at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where three Woodcock remained.
