Pink-footed Geese continued to head north, with three skeins containing a total of 194 birds and a drake Pintail was again on North Marsh. However, a party of three Egyptian Geese that flew south-east over Speeton/Bempton was more unexpected. The five Red-necked Grebes were again off Sewerby, together with two Great Crested Grebes, a Velvet Scoter, a Peregrine and 1000-strong feeding flock of Gannets. Five Lesser Black-backed Gulls were noted off the Headland.
The Rough-legged Buzzard was again present at Buckton, which also hosted three Short-eared Owls and there was an increase in Stonechats, with five at Buckton and five in the Thornwick area. The best passerine migrant was a female Black Redstart at South Landing that frequented the area around the Lifeboat station and nearby beach. Two Scandinavian Rock Pipits were on the beach at South Landing, with another at Sewerby.
