Additional seawatch records included a Red-breasted Merganser, an Arctic Skua and a Mediterranean Gull moving south, with two Grey Plovers flying north.
Thornwick Pools hosted a Mandarin and a Whimbrel. Records from the outer head included nine Golden Plover, two Grey Wagtails, a Wheatear, four Siskin and six Redpoll. A southerly movement of Pink-footed Geese included 183 over RSPB Bempton Cliffs and an additional skein of 65 birds over the outer head.
