The wind was light from the north-east but veered south-east by early afternoon. Cloudy throughout, the temperate reached a maximum of 13°C.

Morning seawatchers logged five Manx Shearwaters, two Tufted Ducks, three Whimbrel and two Arctic, four Common and 24 Sandwich Terns. Passerines noted included a Wheatear and a Yellow Wagtail.

Ring Ouzels were again on show with one on Bridlington Golf Links and another near the lighthouse. Ten Wheatears was a good count by recent standards, a Garden Warbler was at South Dykes and two Bar-tailed Godwits were at South Landing. The ten Mute Swans remained at The Lakes.

A Swift was over Bempton village and the Black-browed Albatross returned to the cliff late afternoon.
