Sunny throughout, with a blustery southerly wind developing after a relatively calm start and temperatures peaking at ten degrees C. A northerly movement of 1150 Pink-footed Geese took place from first light until mid-morning. In addition, the Thornwick area hosted a Mute Swan, 70 Teal, seven Coot, a Water Rail (Fishing Lake), three Fieldfare and the long-staying Siberian Chiffchaff. A pod of Bottlenose Dolphins swan east past RSPB Bempton Cliffs, while two Lapland Buntings and a Snow Bunting were on the cliff top at Buckton. A Chiffchaff was discovered at Bridlington Links GC just to the west of the Dykes.
