A light north-westerly veered to north-easterly by mid-afternoon. Mainly cloudy and a maximum temperature of 12°C.

Yesterday’s Subalpine Warbler sp. was seen again though very briefly in the Gorse Field and the Yellow-browed Warbler remained at Old Fall. The Golf Course continued to be attractive to a Blue-headed Wagtail, five Yellow Wagtails and a White Wagtail. Other passerines noted included three Wheatears, four Lesser Whitethroats and two Reed Warblers. Wader interest comprised a Jack Snipe, eleven Snipe, a Common Sandpiper and a Whimbrel and a Short-eared Owl was seen again over the Golf Course. A Jay flew high over Bempton Village.
