Conditions improved after another foggy start, with sunny intervals by the afternoon in much lighter onshore winds. Thornwick Pools hosted an adult Curlew Sandpiper, but there was no sign of the Temminck’s Stint. However, the Dotterel remained on Beacon Hill.
An arrival of migrant passerines occurred during the morning and included one Tree Pipit, a Redstart, one Pied Flycatcher and eight Spotted Flycatchers. However, the day’s best discovery was of a male Red-backed Shrike at Thornwick Pools.
West of the Dykes, RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted a Pied Flycatcher and three Spotted Flycatchers.
