The temperature reached a very mild 13°C on a variably murky day with a light south-westerly.

Great Crested Grebes numbered 21 offshore at the Fog Station though seawatching was again subdued. Generally very quiet on land but with a report of an unspecified parakeet in the Outer Head gardens during the morning and possibly the same bird in Bempton village late afternoon. The trio of Short-eared Owls remained at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
