An overcast day, with spells of light rain throughout, a light northerly wind developing and temperatures reaching 16 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with 34 Manx Shearwaters, 130 Oystercatchers, six Whimbrel, 41 Common Terns, five Arctic Skuas and a Pomarine Skua flying south; 62 Common Scoters, a Sooty Shearwater, 65 Sandwich Terns and 134 Arctic Terns headed north. It was evident an influx of four Minke Whales had taken place, with all watched feeding in the inshore waters on the northern side of the headland between RSPB Bempton Cliffs and the Fog Station. Thornwick Pools hosted a Little Ringed Plover, three Dunlin, four Green Sandpipers and a Grey Wagtail.
The Black-browed Albatross continued to show well at Bempton, where a Short-eared Owl was also in residence.
