A light variable wind, sunny and temperatures of 12 degrees C. Seawatching produced a Blue Fulmar flying north and 40 Purple Sandpipers on the Outer Head. The five Red-necked Grebes remained off Sewerby, where a 2nd-winter Mediterranean Gull was also present late afternoon. A single Great Northern Diver and two Velvet Scoter were on the sea off South Landing, with a Woodcock in the nearby ravine and at least two Scandinavian Rock Pipits on the beach. Two Barn Owls and a Tawny Owl were located during daylight hours, whilst Thornwick hosted nine Teal, two Shelduck and three Stonechat. Additional passerine interest included three Goldcrest, four Treecreepers, two Coal Tits, six Pied Wagtails, a Mistle Thrush and a Siskin.
The Rough-legged Buzzard was seen again at Buckton, where there were two Short-eared Owls.
