Generally overcast with some sunny spells, light winds which were variable in direction and a high of 20 degrees C. Two Sooty Shearwaters flew north during seawatch sessions that also logged an adult Mediterranean Gull, 125 Arctic Terns, a Bonxie and a Minke Whale. Two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls, two juvenile Caspian Gulls (including a Dutch colour-ringed individual) and a juvenile Mediterranean Gull rested on the rocks at Cattlemere.
Bird of the day was undoubtedly a white juvenile Swallow around the outer head which is officially described as ‘brown’ due to a DNA mutation. Passerine interest included ten Willow Warblers and 32 Yellow Wagtails.
Elsewhere, a Merlin hunted cliff top fields around RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
