Cloudless skies and temperatures that reached 18 degrees C were the main feature of the weather, with a light south-easterly breeze developing by late morning. During the seawatch, 82 Sandwich Terns flew south. The headlines were stolen by a Bee-eater that flew south over the Bay Brambles/Lighthouse at 0820hrs; despite calling repeatedly, it remained invisible. A Blue-headed Wagtail between Thornwick and North Dykes was also new, but otherwise migrants were relatively thin on the ground. Two Shoveler and a pair of Tufted Ducks frequented North Marsh, a creamcown Marsh Harrier flew south over South Landing, whilst wader interest included a Little Ringed Plover, one Ringed Plover, five Whimbrel, a Green Sandpiper and two Dunlin. Passerine interest included nine Wheatears, single Yellow, White and Grey Wagtails, together with a Lesser Redpoll.
West of the Dykes, sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Bonxie, a Garden Warbler, eight Wheatears and a Tree Pipit.
