Strong south-westerlies again though mild with an maximum temperature of 15°C.
The main seawatching highlight was two Storm Petrels moving south while other species included a Velvet Scoter, three Great Northern Divers, a Great Skua, a first-winter Caspian Gull, 83 Little Gulls, 109 Puffins and, unusually, two Jack Snipe south. Also offshore were four Manx Shearwaters and three Arctic Terns. All making for an eventful day.
Land-based birding was hampered by the strength of the wind. Even so, 52 Pink-footed Geese, a Goldeneye, three Snipe and a Kingfisher were at Thornwick Pools. South Landing held 20 Sanderling and 39 Common Scoter were offshore.
Six Grey Partridge were noted at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
