It was a relatively cool day, with occasional sunny intervals and heavy showers with light variable winds. The Woodchat Shrike remained elusive in the Gorse Field all day, where female Common Redstart and Black Redstart were also present. A Hobby flew along the South Cliffs, with the Redwing remaining on nearby Oceanview.
Seawatch highlights included an Eider, three Red-throated Divers, 14 Manx Shearwaters and six Sandwich Terns flying past the Fog Station. Thornwick Pools attracted two Little Ringed Plovers and the escaped female Baikal Teal made another appearance.
The Black-browed Albatross returned to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where Marsh Harrier and Short-eared Owl were also recorded.
