A day of light easterly winds, overcast during the morning and then sunny intervals and occasional showers; temperatures of 7 degrees C. The seawatch was quiet, although it included a Blue Fulmar close inshore that eventually flew south. Large numbers of auks and Gannets were again present and Kittiwake numbers rose dramatically, with 313 north, 69 south and 170 on the sea. The Greenland White-fronted Goose commuted between Water Lane and North Marsh, two Grey Herons flew over Church Lane, single Woodcock and Bar-tailed Godwit remained at South Landing, whilst 30 Rock Pipits represented a good count and a Brambling was new.
West of the Dykes, a Common Buzzard was near Marton Hall and a Mistle Thrush at Speeton. Records from the Buckton/Bempton area included single Golden Plover and Water Rail, two Grey Partridges, a Stonechat, 200 Linnets, 50 Yellowhammers and 80 Corn Buntings.
