Winds were variable, although with a generally westerly component, and after a sunny start, the afternoon was generally overcast.
Thornwick Pools attracted a Grey Heron, five Dunlin, two Green Sandpipers and two juvenile Cuckoos. Elsewhere, five Whimbrel were at South Landing, the juvenile Whinchat remained in residence at North Marsh and a Grasshopper Warbler sang on the edge of the village.
Of interest, two Ruddy Darters were discovered on the Headland; a dragonfly that is far from annual locally. This comes a day after two at Bempton Cliffs RSPB which represented a first reserve record.
West of the Dykes, two Marsh Harriers were in the Bempton Cliffs/Speeton area and a Cuckoo also appeared on the reserve.
