A relatively bright, sunny day with a moderate north-north-westerly wind and temperatures peaking at 14 degrees C. A summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver flew north during a seawatch that also featured a Red-throated Diver, 78 Manx Shearwaters, eight Sandwich Terns, an Arctic Tern and a Bonxie heading in the same direction. The ever elusive Woodchat Shrike showed in the Gorse Field until mid-morning but not since, while a Cuckoo frequented South Dykes. Elsewhere, the Black-browed Albatross continued to entertain at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; a Marsh Harrier also flew north-west inland of the reserve.
