Moderate/strong northerly winds gradually abated as sunny intervals prevailed after a damp start, with temperatures reaching 12 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with a summer-plumaged Great Northern Diver, three Red-throated Divers, 56 Manx Shearwaters, a Bonxie and an Arctic Skua flying north. The Woodchat Shrike continued in residence in the Gorse Field but remained elusive, whilst a pair of Nuthatch were feeding young in South Dykes. The Black-browed Albatross again entertained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
