A relatively overcast day, although there were some sunny intervals; relatively humid, with temperatures reaching 21 degrees C. There was one spectacular highlight when a male Killer Whale (Orca) was watched moving south at range off RSPB Bempton Cliffs mid-afternoon; at least five Minke Whales were feeding in the same area.
Four Sooty Shearwaters moved north past the Fog Station. A Balearic Shearwater fed in a Gannet-frenzy off Bempton, where nine Sooty Shearwaters were also recorded. A first-winter Yellow-legged Gull lingered off the Fog Station, while other notable records from the outer head included a Marsh Harrier, the Merlin and two Common Swifts. Eight Bar-tailed Godwits fed on South Landing beach.
