It was a relatively cloudy day with sunny intervals, light south-west winds and temperatures reaching 20 degrees C. Seawatching proved to be quiet, with 50 Sandwich Terns and 208 Common Terns flying north during the morning the most noteworthy records. Only the second Spotted Redshank of the year flew south over Thornwick, where a Banded Demoiselle was an excellent local record. A Green Sandpiper also flew south over Oceanview and a Cuckoo was there early morning. Butterfly interest included a Dark Green Fritillary at South Landing.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a pod of 20-30 Bottlenose Dolphins heading north-west and a creamcrown Marsh Harrier; a Green Sandpiper frequented Buckton Pond.
