Sunny intervals established mid-morning after a misty start; south-west winds were relatively light and temperatures reached 14 degrees C. Two Whimbrel, seven Lesser Black-backed Gulls, two Sandwich Terns and a Red-throated Diver flew north during a seawatch that also featured a pod of four Bottlenose Dolphins moving south.
Fourteen Mute Swans represented a notable local record and continues the ever growing numbers resultant from the creation of Thornwick Lakes; they were again accompanied by the lone Whooper Swan. Thornwick Pools also attracted a pair of Gadwall, a Little Egret and a Greenshank; the latter one of seven Greenshank recorded on the outer head. Another Whimbrel flew north over Thornwick in the morning, while a creamcrown Marsh Harrier headed east over Cattlemere. Passerine migrants were scarce, with the female Black Redstart remaining near North Dykes, a Common Redstart, one Ring Ouzel, a Wheatear and one Whinchat.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included seven Lesser Black-backed Gulls, a Redwing, two Whinchat and 15 Corn Buntings.
