A sunny day, with a moderate south-south-westerly wind increasing in strength and temperatures peaking at 12 degrees C. During the seawatch, a dark-bellied Brent Goose, 40 Common Scoter and 65 Red-throated Divers headed south, with a Bonxie moving north. Thousands of Guillemots were again on the cliffs, a feature of recent days after an absence since breeding.
Six Mute Swans that flew south over the outer head were unusual, less so the 40 Pink-footed Geese logged during the day. Additional sightings included the Pied Crow still in the village, a Twite that flew south over the Fog Station/Cattlemere and two Snow Buntings on the outer head.
West of the Dykes, RSPB Bempton Cliffs hosted a Short-eared Owl and a Snow Bunting, whilst three Shore Larks were north-west there.
