Light/moderate winds switched from a westerly to an easterly direction during a day of mainly overcast skies and temperatures reaching 12 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included three Eiders, a Goosander, six Sanderlings, a Lesser Black-backed Gull and 133 Puffins. Eight Mute Swans and the long-staying Whooper Swan remained, while a Merlin overflew Croft’s Hill and the Rose-ringed Parakeet was still on the outer head. The day’s most notable record related to a Raven that flew south past the lighthouse early morning. Starling numbers increased through the day, with 1250 on the outer head early evening and 3950 on the edge of Bempton village.
