The hottest day for several years, with sunny intervals, a strengthening south-westerly wind and temperatures that peaked at 29 degrees C by mid-afternoon. Seawatch highlights included 53 Common Scoters, 19 Manx Shearwaters, six Sandwich Terns and a Common Tern flying north. A ‘southerly’ Swift movement was apparent, with 216 moving south-east over RSPB Bempton Cliffs and smaller numbers skirting the cliffs past the lighthouse; a Hobby at Bempton was also associated with this movement. Late passerine migrants included a White Wagtail at Thornwick Pools and a Spotted Flycatcher at Old Fall, while an influx of migrant insects included three Hummingbird Hawkmoths.
