Relatively overcast throughout, with occasional sunny intervals and longer spells of rain. Winds were light initially, before a switch to a stronger northerly airflow from late morning; temperatures reached seven degrees C. Seawatch highlights included four Eider, four Little Gulls, 1030 Kittiwakes, 44 Red-throated Divers, a Sooty Shearwater and two Manx Shearwaters all flying north. A Woodcock flew in off the sea, with three more in the South Landing area, and four Snipe flew west over the headland. The latter location also hosted two Eider, a Little Egret, two Bar-tailed Godwits, two Sanderling, a Ringed Plover and a Grey Wagtail.
Two dark-bellied Brent Geese were in fields at Hartendale. A Chiffchaff was on the cliff top at Beacon Hill, with another at South Dykes along with four Goldcrest. Better still, a Siberian Chiffchaff was at the entrance to Thornwick Camp. Elsewhere, RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted a lone Snow Bunting.
