Light westerly and overcast conditions prevailed, with showers later. Seawatching produced one Eider, ten Common Scoter and three Red-throated Divers flying north, with a Blue Fulmar and seven Sandwich Terns heading in a similar direction.

A Little Egret visited Thornwick Pools, whilst increases in migrants included four Wheatear, 11 Chiffchaff and a Blackcap all at Thornwick.

Bempton Cliffs RSPB hosted three Wheatear, two Chiffchaff and two Goldcrests.
