It proved to be a relatively bright day, with temperatures attaining 9 degrees C in a moderate west-north-westerly wind. A single Eider and eight Common Scoters flew south on the seawatch, with 154 Fulmars heading north. The male Black Redstart appeared once again along the cliff edge near the Fog Station.

West of the Dykes, at least one Short-eared Owl remained at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
