A relatively overcast day, with a band of rain moving through during the morning; there were light winds, generally from a south-easterly direction, and a top temperature of 15 degrees C. An Ortolan Bunting flew south-east over RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 1210hrs, but wasn’t relocated. Other sightings there included a Nightjar discovered early evening at the Dell, one Garden Warbler and four Spotted Flycatchers.

The outer head also hosted four Spotted Flycatchers, together with four Ringed Plovers, a Little Ringed Plover, one Dunlin, a Common Sandpiper, a Cuckoo and two Siskin.
