Light winds, variable amounts of cloud with sunny intervals and occasional light rain and temperatures reaching 11 degrees C. A Pale-bellied Brent Goose, two Great Northern Divers and two Little Gulls flew south during the seawatch, with a lone Little Auk lingering offshore. The Velvet Scoter, two Long-tailed Ducks and a Goldeneye remained off the South Cliffs, while 29 Curlew were on fields at Head Farm. Thornwick Pools attracted a Little Egret, a Goldeneye, 17 Teal and a Woodcock. The Red-flanked Bluetail showed well throughout at South Landing, with a Jay also there.

Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Woodcock, two Short-eared Owls, 1000 Starlings and six Corn Buntings.
