Light/moderate winds backed from the north-east winds to the north during a day of sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 20 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included a Gadwall, 118 Common Scoters, a Red-throated Diver, 16 Manx Shearwaters, three Mediterranean Gulls, 14 Common Terns, 16 Arctic Terns, three Bonxies and two Arctic Skuas flying north, with an unseasonal six Goldeneye, a Great Crested Grebe, 52 Oystercatchers and a Little Gull moving in the opposite direction. In addition, three Whimbrel frequented the shore below Beacon Hill, a Green Sandpiper at Thornwick Pools and lone Grey Wagtails at the Fog Station and in a village garden.
Almost predictably, the Black-browed Albatross re-appeared at RSPB Bempton Cliffs where it remained for much of the day.
