Sunny throughout, with a light east-south-easterly wind off the sea conducive for the small arrival of drift migrants. An Ortolan Bunting was located along Old Fall Hedge early morning and, although elusive at times, it remained in the same area for a couple of hours; this represents the first on the outer head since August 2013. Additional passerine migrants included a Reed Warbler, two Spotted Flycatchers, 29 Pied Flycatchers, four Redstarts, 11 Whinchats and six Wheatears. A total of 24 Common Buzzards also drifted onto the headland together with two juvenile Marsh Harriers.
The Black-browed Albatross lingered at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where there was also single Marsh Harrier and Merlin, two Reed Warblers, two Pied Flycatchers, two Whinchat and a Redstart. A Green Sandpiper frequented Buckton Pond. Thornwick Pools attracted another two Green Sandpipers, four Dunlin, 13 Teal and a Great White Egret that soon departed south.
