Light but cool westerly winds initially, with a switch to stronger south-easterlies in the afternoon; sunny intervals and a high of 13 degrees C. The day’s highlight was the sighting of two Cranes over North Landing at 1134hrs; they then gained significant height before drifting off south-west. Another former rarity whose records are increasing, a Raven flew west over Bempton village mid-afternoon. Other notable records included two Red Kites and three Brambling on the outer head, while a Common Whitethroat and a Wheatear graced RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
