Winds initially from the west switched to onshore later; sunny intervals established in the afternoon, when temperatures reached 25 degrees C. The morning seawatch was rewarded with seven Common Terns, 42 Sandwich Terns and three Manx Shearwaters. Two Quail were recorded on the headland: singles calling at Oceanview and at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Further evidence that ‘autumn passage’ has started for some waders came in the form of single Lapwing and Ringed Plover.
