A strong north-north-westerly gradually relented during the day, with sunny intervals establishing after an overcast start. The seawatch was quiet, with 32 Red-throated Divers moving south and a Razorbill offshore.
A total of 30 Russian White-fronted Geese were present on the headland (flock of 27 and a group of three), along with three Pink-footed Geese and the Whooper Swan. Thirty-four Wigeon were a slight increase on recent days. Two Woodcock and a Sanderling represented the most notable wader records, whilst passerine interest included a Chiffchaff, 25 Lapland Buntings, 38 Snow Buntings and a Corn Bunting. However, more significant numbers of the latter were seen at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where there were 120 Corn Buntings mid-morning; a Short-eared Owl was also present there.
