A sunny day, with light winds which started offshore but switched to onshore in the afternoon; temperatures peaked at 18 degrees C. The morning seawatch featured a Balearic Shearwater lingering offshore, with two Pomarine Skuas, a Little Gull and 3100 Commic Terns moving north. A single Pomarine Skua also flew south in the evening along with 860 Common Terns and eight Arctic Terns. In addition, a Roseate Tern rested on rocks off Cattlemere, as did a green darvic-ringed first calendar-year Caspian Gull and a first calendar-year Yellow-legged Gull.
Away from the sea, the juvenile Merlin reduced the Linnet flock near Old Fall by one, while a Hobby overflew Hartendale. Wader interest included a Greenshank flying south over the village; a Common Sandpiper joined three Sanderling, eight Dunlin and 46 Ringed Plovers at South Landing. Six Spotted Flycatchers on the outer head were accompanied by a Pied Flycatcher, six Wheatear, a Whinchat and two Redstarts.
Notable sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included ten Willow Warblers, 11 Yellow Wagtails, a Whinchat and three Wheatear.
