Overcast throughout, with light drizzle during the morning, a blustery northerly wind and high of six degrees C. A Blue Fulmar flew north during a morning seawatch. Four Great Crested Grebes were off the Seawatch Observatory, with another ten sheltering off Beacon Hill. The Thornwick area hosted six Gadwall, two Shoveler, 30 Teal and 16 Tufted Ducks. A Woodcock and 170 Linnets were the most notable records from RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
