Light winds initially from the north-west veered south-easterly later and increased in strength; there was heavy rain from first light, turning showery later and temperatures reached six degrees C. A female Velvet Scoter, an impressive five Great Northern Divers on the water together, 117 Turnstones, a Knot, two Purple Sandpipers and single Stonechat and Grey Wagtail were present at South Landing in the morning. A southerly passage of Kittiwakes then occurred in the afternoon, with 31 flying south past the Fog Station in 20 minutes and another dropped onto the new workings at Thornwick. A Woodcock flew inland over the outer head, whilst three Short-eared Owls hunted cliff top fields at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
