There were sunny intervals before rain arrived mid-afternoon; a blustery southerly wind and a high of 13 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with two Velvet Scoters, a Goldeneye, one Little Gull and four Great Northern Divers; two Great Northern Divers also flew south over the outer head. Migrants made landfall throughout the day and included two Woodcock, three Snipe, 190 Starling, 190 Redwing, 105 Fieldfare and a Snow Bunting. A Firecrest was at the Golf Course Willows with seven Twite along the South Cliffs.
A juvenile Glaucous Gull flew along the Bempton/Buckton cliffs, while a ringtail Hen Harrier hunted fields at the latter site. A Lapland Bunting overflew RSPB Bempton, where 150 Redwing were also recorded. Eight Lapwing flew west over the nearby village.
