A bright day, with sunny intervals, light winds that were variable in direction and a high of 14 degrees C. RSPB Bempton Cliffs headlined with a Crane that flew north-west, a Hooded Crow that moved south-east, three Marsh Harriers and 23 Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
A morning seawatch at the Fog Station was rewarded with three Arctic Terns, three northbound Great Northern Divers and eight Manx Shearwaters; an Arctic Skua flew south during the evening, when an additional seven Manx Shearwaters headed north. Away from the sea, a Ring-necked Parakeet visited gardens near the Bowling Green and the male Black Redstart frequented the immediate vicinity of the Seawatch Observatory. Other outer head records included three Marsh Harriers, a White Wagtail, one Wheatear and two Yellow Wagtails.
