A relatively overcast day, with spells of light rain mostly concentrated in the morning and temperatures peaked at 14 degrees C. Highlights of the morning seawatch included 125 Common Scoter, a Red-throated Diver, 17 Manx Shearwaters, 31 Sandwich Terns and a Bonxie flying north; 13 Oystercatchers, five Dunlin and an Arctic Skua flew south.
Seven Little Egrets flew north: a party of four birds flew north over RSPB Bempton Cliffs and latterly Filey Bay, whilst a single on the seawatch was later followed by two birds together. Thornwick Pools attracted a Grey Heron, three Little Ringed Plovers and six Dunlin; a Green Sandpiper also overflew the pools. Additional sightings from Bempton included four Grey Partridges and two Yellow Wagtails.
