A few thundery showers skirted the headland in the morning before sunny skies prevailed; winds remained light and temperatures reached 22 degrees C. An adult Roseate Tern that eventually flew north close inshore was the highlight of a seawatch that also featured an adult Mediterranean Gull, 18 Sandwich Terns and two Arctic Skuas. A total of 174 Swifts flew south past the lighthouse in under an hour ahead of the morning showers. Later in the day, a further 268 Swifts moved south-east past North Landing, while a second calendar-year Little Gull was offshore.
Three singing Quail included two near North Landing, where a Great White Egret flew south and a Hobby made a typically brief appearance. Elsewhere, the Cuckoo remained in residence around Beacon Hill and two Bonxies were off RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
