There were sunny intervals throughout, a light/moderate westerly wind and peak temperature of 21 degrees C. A total of nine Caspian Gulls exclusively consisted of first calendar-year birds; three were in juvenile plumage, with the balance showing first-winter features, while none sported darvic colour rings. A juvenile Mediterranean Gull was also off the Fog Station, while northbound terns included 187 Sandwich and 30 Common. Two Little Egrets fed on the shore at Cattlemere, with another off Hartendale.
Raptor interest included a Marsh Harrier over South Dykes and a Hobby west over Old Fall Hedge. There was an increase in wader passage, including ten Dunlin and seven Ringed Plovers at South Landing. This movement was also evident at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where six Whimbrel and 69 Redshank were logged; other sightings from the reserve included four Marsh Harriers, a Merlin, five Willow Warblers, a Whinchat and six Yellow Wagtails.
