A day of light north-north-east winds and sunny conditions after an overcast start; temperatures reached 9 degrees C by mid-morning. Seawatching produced a Red-throated Diver flying south, four Shelduck south, 29 Common Scoters doing the same, a Whimbrel heading north and five Sandwich Terns north (and one south).
A Long-eared Owl hunted the edge of the Golf Course during the morning, with other records including 13 Chiffchaffs, nine Blackcap, one Sedge Warbler, a Lesser Whitethroat, three Yellow Wagtails and a Common Redstart. A remarkably early record of a churring Nightjar, a rare passage visitor to Flamborough anyway, was heard at South Landing during the evening.
