There were prolonged sunny intervals, although a light easterly wind developed early on which pushed a sea fret ashore on the extreme outer head. The morning seawatch was brought to a premature conclusion when the fog arrived; a Sooty Shearwater flew north before visibility reduced, as did a juvenile Mediterranean Gull. Single Bar-tailed Godwit and two Arctic Skuas were also recorded. A juvenile Merlin frequented the cliff top around the Fog Station, where a Wheatear made landfall.
The Wood Sandpiper remained at Thornwick Pools, where four Teal, four Little Ringed Plovers and a Dunlin were also in residence. Oceanview attracted a Short-eared Owl.
A total of 176 Oystercatchers moved south-east past RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Jay did the same; a Hobby flew north-west, while single Marsh Harrier and Merlin remained. Sixteen Common Whitethroats and eight Willow Warblers were also present on the reserve.
