Although south-westerlies throughout, it was a day of two halves starting with overcast skies and a temperature of eight degrees and ended with sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 20 degrees C. Seven Sooty Shearwaters and two first-winter Caspian Gulls represented the seawatch highlights, while Thornwick Pools attracted two Water Rails and a Green Sandpiper. The Merlin continued to hunt the outer head, where three Ruff dropped onto the golf course and nine Lapwing flew south. Passerine migrants were in short supply, with a Pied Flycatcher at North Landing and a Whinchat in the Lighthouse Grassland.
Two Marsh Harriers again hunted fields immediately south of RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where sightings included 27 Pink-footed Geese flying south and a Hobby.
