A day of strong south-westerly winds, rain during the morning, before sunny intervals later and temperatures reaching 15 degrees C. The seawatch was quiet, with two Common Scoters flying south, as did a Lesser Black-backed Gull, while thousands of auks were back in residence. However, Puffins remained scarce, with only two on the cliffs near the Fog Station. Wildfowl included the drake Pintail, 27 Teal and the Wigeon, whilst three Chiffchaff, two Goldcrest and a Fieldfare were recorded.
West of the Dykes, a White Wagtail was seen near Bempton, together with 28 Pied Wagtails and ten Corn Buntings, with a pair of Shelduck in the same area. In addition, 100 Meadow Pipits were recorded heading north-west along the cliffs.
