Sunny intervals preceded showers, with a very heavy thunderstorm early evening; blustery southerly winds developed and temperatures reached 17 degrees C. An evening seawatch was rewarded with a single Bonxie and 14 Manx Shearwaters flying north. Eight Barnacle Geese flew east past South Dykes and eight Eider were off the South Cliffs. Nearby, a Quail sang from fields south of Head Farm early morning.

A Night Heron recorded over Bempton village during an overnight ‘noc mig’ session was an excellent record. Another Quail was also recorded from the same location.
