Generally onshore winds, with overcast skies and some sunny intervals; temperatures reached 20 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included two Yellow-legged Gulls (juvenile & 1st-summer) and a juvenile Caspian Gull, 60 Manx Shearwaters, 224 Oystercatchers south, a Little Ringed Plover, one Black-tailed Godwit, 48 Redshank also all south, whilst 151 Sandwich Terns and nine Arctic Terns tracked north. Thornwick Pools hosted six Teal, a Little Ringed Plover, a juvenile Wood Sandpiper, a Green Sandpiper and seven Dunlin; the escaped Baikal Teal also made a re-appearance there. The usual suspects, albeit of high quality, remained at Bempton Cliffs – Black-browed Albatross and Red-tailed Shrike, with a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull offshore; three Marsh Harriers hunted adjacent cliff top fields.
