Additional records included a Great Northern Diver south, 28 Arctic Skuas, a Bonxie, 137 Little Gulls, five Mediterranean Gulls and three Brent Geese. An unringed first-winter Caspian Gull was on the shore at Cattlemere, while South Landing continued to play host to the Red-breasted Merganser and Grey Plover.
The Barred Warbler was present at South Landing (in the main ravine) for its 17th day. Four Cetti’s Warbler were in the Thornwick area, where the Kingfisher reappeared. A vocal Siberian Chiffchaff and a Woodcock graced Old Fall. Additional passerine migrants included six Yellow-browed Warblers, an acredula-type Willow Warbler, one Garden Warbler, a Ring Ouzel and a Snow Bunting (North Landing car park). Two Twite joined the Linnet flock at Cattlemere. In addition, a Red-breasted Flycatcher was reported at North Landing.
A Lapland Bunting that flew north-west over RSPB Bempton Cliffs was notable, where a Reed Warbler was also present, while a Little Owl was along nearby Cliff Lane.
