Generally overcast, although there were sunny intervals late afternoon; blustery south-west winds and occasional heavy showers mid-afternoon, while temperatures reached 15 degrees C. A Blue Fulmar flew south during an otherwise quiet morning seawatch. Kingfisher remains scarce locally, so a single on the outer head was notable. Other sightings included a Red Kite west over the Dykes, a Water Rail and a flock of eight Fieldfare at Hartendale, another Water Rail at Thornwick Fishing Lake and a Wheatear at the Fog Station. Notable records from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included two Goldcrests, a White Wagtail, 105 Meadow Pipits. 36 Chaffinch, a Brambling, 425 Linnets, 21 Siskin and 13 Corn Buntings.
