Overcast throughout, with strong east-south-east winds, rain arriving early evening and a maximum of six degrees C. A Blue Fulmar and a single Snow Bunting flew south past the Fog Station in the morning. Forty-one Russian White-fronted Geese and eight Pink-footed Geese roosted on the outer head before flying inland to feed. Seven Woodcock were at Mid Dykes, with a further four at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; the flock of 15 Snow Buntings also remained at the latter site.
