After a cloudy and still morning, sunny intervals prevailed, with a light south-easterly wind developing; temperatures reached 20 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with 21 Common Scoters, 18 Manx Shearwaters, 531 Sandwich Terns, ten Common Terns, seven Arctic Terns and a Bonxie flying north; two Arctic Skuas lingered offshore, whilst six Goosander, 88 Oystercatchers, six Knot and seven Dunlin moved south. However, the highlight pertained to the juvenile Caspian Gull that circled High Stacks early evening before drifting south into Bridlington Bay. A pod of at least six Bottlenose Dolphins swam north past the outer head around mid-day.
Thornwick Pools hosted a juvenile Shelduck, single Green and Common Sandpipers and two Ringed Plover. A Black-tailed Godwit flew north and a Marsh Harrier headed south over South Dykes. The juvenile Mediterranean Gull re-appeared at South Landing, whilst Buckton Pond attracted two Green Sandpipers and a Snipe.
