The day grew progressively warmer through to early evening when the temperature has reached 23 Celsius. There was a moderate south-easterly breeze veering to south-west by evening.
There were both morning and evening seawatch sessions where the highlights were one Shoveler, 96 Common Scoter, 53 Manx Shearwater, 31 Whimbrel, 15 Turnstone, eight Dunlin, two Mediterranean Gulls, 110 Sandwich, 2 Common and 3 Arctic Terns and a single Arctic Skua.
Away from the sea, Thornwick Pools held two Little Ringed Plovers, a Green Sandpiper, three Dunlin and six Yellow Wagtails. A Short-eared Owl was at the Gorse Field briefly and and most unexpected was a Willow Tit at South Landing, either species is a very scarce bird locally.
The main attractions, the Red-tailed Shrike and Black-browed Albatross, remained at Bempton Cliffs RSPB while a singing Quail provided added interest.
