A relatively overcast day, with moderate south-west winds and an appreciable increase in temperature, with a peak of 21 degrees C. Seawatching highlights included a Garganey, 114 Teal, a Red-throated Diver, 39 Oystercatchers, a Grey Plover and two Arctic Skuas flying south; 58 Sandwich Terns and three Bonxies moved north.
A juvenile Black-necked Grebe lingered throughout at Thornwick Pools; it triggered considerable interest from local birders, for what is an extremely rare local bird, despite an increase in records over the last decade. Thornwick also attracted single Ringed Plover, Black-tailed Godwit, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank, Redshank and three Dunlin, whilst South Landing held a Grey Plover. Passerine migrants included a Garden Warbler, four Whinchat, a Wheatear and a Spotted Flycatcher.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted 19 Willow Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher, Tree Pipit and four Yellow Wagtails, with a Hobby over the village. Buckton hosted a Merlin, four Golden Plover, single Reed and Sedge Warbler and two Whinchat.
