Winds switched from light south-westerlies to gusty north-westerlies during a day that featured light showers and temperatures reaching six degrees C. The seawatch was quiet, with a lone Eider and a northern Herring Gull flying north the most notable sightings. The eight Mute Swans and single Little Grebe remained at Thornwick Lakes, while two Shelduck and 29 Teal frequented nearby Thornwick Pools. Lapwings appeared to be on the move, with 12 at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and 11 over the outer head, while South Dykes beach attracted a Sanderling.
