A day of sunny intervals with a fresh northerly, feeling warm out of the wind, temperatures reached 19C.
Seawatching highlights were 61 Common Scoter north (4S) accompanied by 6 Manx Shearwaters, a Bonxie, an Arctic Skua all also moving north. In addition 5 Black-tailed Godwits moved south and 6 Yellow Wagtails north. Away from the Fog Station, a Hobby was at Crofts Hill and a juvenile Stonechat at North Landing. A count of 50 Redshank flying west over the sea at Hartendale was notable.
The Black-browed Albatross was on view for most of the day again at Bempton Cliffs RSPB. Another unusual bird here was what appears to be an normal adult Gannet with the exception that it has entirely white and very worn primaries and primary coverts.
