Noticeably cooler than of late, despite sunny skies and relatively light winds; temperatures reached 14 degrees C. The morning’s seawatch was rewarded with 11 Pomarine Skuas flying north, including a flock of six birds; 24 Arctic Skuas also flew north. Two Sooty Shearwaters headed in the same direction, as did a Mediterranean Gull, while 32 Little Gulls were also recorded on the seawatch. A total of 37 Whooper Swans moved south past the outer head in the late afternoon.
Six Barnacle Geese flew south at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where two Short-eared Owls were still present.
