It was a sunny day with little wind. Seawatching highlights included a Little Gull flying north and an adult Yellow-legged Gull that rested on rocks at South Landing, where there was also a Common Sandpiper. Two Minke Whales were observed; one off the Outer Head and another that appeared close inshore off Bempton.
A Little Egret, Marsh Harrier and Short-eared Owl were on the Outer Head, but the main highlight was a Kingfisher on Thornwick Pools; a true Flamborough rarity. The juvenile Cuckoo remained at Thornwick, with a Grey Wagtail also present.
Another two Cuckoos were present at Buckton, whilst sightings from nearby Bempton included a Marsh Harrier, two Golden Plover and a Black-tailed Godwit that flew south.
