A sunny day, with very light north-easterly winds. During the seawatch, a dark-bellied Brent Goose flew south, 27 Eiders moved north, a Manx Shearwater, 130 Little Gulls and an Arctic Skua flew south, with two Bonxies heading north.
Away from the sea, 57 Teal were present, along with a Water Rail, two Jack Snipe, two Woodcock and the Kingfisher. However, the main focus of attention related to the presence of two Hume’s Warblers: one bird continued to show well in the willows south of the lower hide at Thornwick, whilst a second individual was located at Bempton Cliffs RSPB. Another Pallas’s Warbler was discovered, on this occasion in South Landing, whilst a Siberian Chiffchaff on St David Lane was also new and a Lesser Whitethroat at Hartendale showed features of blythi. The Dusky Warbler also remained on the outer head for its second day. Locally rarer, a Bearded Tit overflew the Bay Brambles, whilst additional sightings included one Ring Ouzel, two Black Redstart, a Redstart, ten Brambling, a Mealy Redpoll and one Lapland Bunting.
