Bright sunny day. The 2 Mute Swan reappeared this time on Thornwick Pool. A Marsh Harrier flew east At Beacon Hill with a trickle of Swallows. A Whinchat was at North Landing and 8 Shelduck flew over Thornwick Pool.

Among the moths another first for Flamborough in the form of an Orange Footman and a scarce moth here- a Brown Silver-line. One or two Painted Lady have been seen and worth looking out for as well as Broad-bodied Chasers.
