A dull start, with light rain and a moderate south-easterly wind that later dropped in strength, whilst skies also brightened. Seawatching was again quiet, with seven Shelduck, 14 Wigeon, 57 Teal and a Ruff flying south.
Two Little Egrets frequented south Dykes, whilst 42 Golden Plovers flew south and two Ruff and two Little Stints were in residence. A Water Rail was again at Thornwick Pools. The number of reported passerines was lower, although this was likely a result of reduced coverage. However, six Yellow-browed Warblers remained, along with single Reed Warbler, three Spotted Flycatchers, a Pied Flycatcher, one Redstart, six Wheatears and a Brambling.
West of the Dykes, sightings from Bempton Cliffs RSPB included two Yellow-browed Warblers, a Pied Flycatcher, one Redstart and six Whinchat. Buckton hosted a Black Redstart, one Yellow-browed Warbler, the long-staying Willow Tit, a Treecreeper (only fourth Buckton record), four Redpoll and a Brambling.
