A light wind backed from a westerly direction to a south-easterly during another sunny day, with temperatures reaching ten degrees C. Migrants on the outer head included a Woodcock, ten Chiffchaffs, a Redwing, four Brambling and 22 Siskin. Two Short-eared Owls remained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with three Chiffchaffs also present; a male Black Redstart was located along Cliff Lane and 48 Golden Plovers overflew the village. The pod of c.20 Bottlenose Dolphins continued to tour the headland; having been off the Fog Station early morning, they later entertained off Bempton Cliffs.
