A bright day, with sunny intervals, relatively light south-west winds and a high of 22 degrees C. An influx of large gulls included four calendar-year Yellow-legged Gulls together, nine first calendar-year Caspian Gulls and 49 Lesser Black-backed Gulls – the vast majority of the latter also in their first-year. An adult Roseate Tern fed off the Fog Station early morning before drifting off north, while a juvenile Mediterranean Gull also lingered offshore. The majority of Caspian Gulls loafed on rocks at Cattlemere, where single Little Egret and Greenshank were also present.
Notable sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Greenshank, one Marsh Harrier, six Willow Warblers and a Whinchat.
