The weather consisted of moderate south-westerly winds and, although the day started with sunshine, it was generally overcast. During the seawatch, 30 Common Scoters flew south, two Whimbrel went north, 30 Sandwich Terns were also logged, whilst a Bonxie headed south.
Two Grey Partridge on the outer head represented a good record of an ever scarcer species. Single Marsh Harrier and Grey Plover also flew south there. The switch in wind direction also prompted the arrival of migrants including ten Willow Warblers, single Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroat and Sedge Warblers, three Yellow Wagtails, two White Wagtails, a Redwing and seven Wheatears. The Grasshopper Warbler remained at South Dykes.
Bempton Cliffs RSPB also attracted one Short-eared Owl and a Lesser Whitethroat.
