The weather consisted of sunny intervals, fairly strong westerly winds and temperatures peaking at 18 degrees C. Single Hobby and Marsh Harrier flew over South Landing, while a Short-eared Owl flew east from Old Fall Hedge in the morning. Two Little Ringed Plovers visited Thornwick Pools and a lone Purple Sandpiper remained near the Fog Station. There was no sign of the Woodchat, with a female Common Redstart the most notable migrant passerine. The Black-browed Albatross appeared at RSPB Bempton Cliffs in the afternoon.
