Strong northerly winds increased in strength later, whilst temperatures ‘peaked’ at 6 degrees C by the early afternoon. During the seawatch, a Red-throated Diver, 208 Fulmars, one Manx Shearwater and a Sandwich Tern went north.

Migrants included a Jack Snipe at North Marsh, a Long-eared Owl and two White Wagtails.

West of the Dykes, a Great Grey Shrike was located late morning along the road from Bempton village and the RSPB reserve.
