Sunny skies throughout, with a light/moderate easterly wind and high of 14 degrees C. Thornwick Pools attracted three Gadwall and a Marsh Harrier overflew the Lighthouse Grassland. Two Swifts were over the village, with another over Cliff Lane, Bempton. Passerine migrants on the outer head included one Grasshopper Warbler, a Ring Ouzel, one White Wagtail and a Siskin.

A Black Redstart graced RSPB Bempton Cliffs, while a Marsh Harrier and two Wheatear were at Buckton.
