The morning consisted of sunny intervals that were replaced by overcast skies; there were blustery south-west winds throughout and a high of 20 degrees C. Thornwick Pools hosted a Garganey, three Snipe, a Ringed Plover and one Green Sandpiper. Seventeen Ringed Plovers frequented South Landing beach, together with four Dunlin and a Sanderling. Single first calendar-year Yellow-legged and Caspian Gulls were along the South Cliffs, while a second calendar-year Caspian Gull sheltered in South Landing in the evening. There was also evidence of an arrival of passerine migrants no doubt pushed onto the coastal fringe by the persistent westerlies, including eight Wheatears, one Whinchat, a Common Redstart and two Spotted Flycatchers.
A flock of 18 Whimbrel flew south-east over RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where five Ringed Plovers, seven Willow Warblers and a Wheatear were also recorded.
