Another overcast start to a day with sunny intervals dominating later and only light winds, generally from the north. The seawatch highlight related to a whale, presumed a Minke, that surfaced once as it moved north. Other sightings included three Common Scoter, four Manx Shearwaters, 30 Sandwich Terns and single Arctic Skua and Bonxie. Elsewhere, three Eider were off South Landing and a Little Ringed Plover frequented Thornwick Pools.

West of the Dykes, single Hobby and Corn Bunting were recorded from RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
