An overcast day, with light south-westerly winds. During the seawatch, four Eiders flew north, with 147 Puffins also recorded, including two back on the cliffs.
A minimum 40 Purple Sandpipers frequented the outer head, with 13 Snipe recorded at Thornwick. A Hooded Crow toured the outer head and presumably the same individual then returned to Sewerby. Six Chiffchaffs made landfall, with birds scattered between Thornwick Pools and High Stacks. The male Black Redstart remained as elusive as ever at the Fog Station, whilst migrants included two Goldcrests and a Siskin.
West of the Dykes, a drake Gadwall was on Buckton Pond, with 30 Yellowhammers nearby.
