Overcast throughout, with light/moderate easterly winds and a high of 11 degrees C.
Images show a wheatear seen very briefly mid-afternoon at Staple Newk, RSPB Bempton Cliffs was a Pied Wheatear; harassed by stonechats, it only alighted briefly before flying south along an adjacent fenceline. Other records from Bempton included a White-fronted Goose, 17 Eiders, 14 Golden Plovers, a Lesser Whitethroat and four Mealy Redpolls.
On the outer head, the Hume’s Warbler in the Golf Course Willows showed well as a result of lighter winds. The more benign conditions also led to better views of the Dusky Warbler at Old Fall, with a second Dusky Warbler discovered at North Marsh. Six Firecrests included a showy bird at Booted Gully, while three Waxwings were also present. Three White-fronted Geese flew past the South Cliffs, where the Long-tailed Duck remained with the scoter flock. Additional migrants included six Woodcock, two Short-eared Owl and a Long-eared Owl, together with a late Spotted Flycatcher, six Twite and two Snow Buntings.
