A relatively overcast day, with brighter intervals and some heavy showers; light northerlies increased in strength from mid-afternoon, with temperatures reaching 12 degrees C.
The first-summer male Siberian Stonechat showed well in the Lighthouse Grassland throughout. A male Grey-headed Wagtail graced Thornwick Pools early afternoon, with its appearance coinciding with the heaviest rain. However, perhaps as notable was the arrival of nine Pied Flycatchers of which eight were males. A Great White Egret flew south over the outer head early afternoon and two Whimbrel fed on the Golf Course. A Marsh Harrier flew north over Cattlemere in the morning and a Short-eared Owl hunted the cliff top near North Landing. Other notable totals were a Hooded Crow, one male Common Redstart, a male Black Redstart, a Tree Pipit, 14 Wheatear, one Whinchat and three Siskin. Seawatch highlights included 57,000 Razorbills moving north past the headland.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs also attracted a male Pied Flycatcher and two Willow Warblers.
