Sunny skies eventually prevailed after an overcast start, during a day of onshore winds and a high of 14 degrees C. A relatively quiet day for migrants with three Gadwall, three Whimbrel, 140 Swallows, 230 House Martins, one Redwing and a Wheatear.

Three Short-eared Owls hunted cliff top grassland at RSPB Bempton Cliffs where a Garden Warbler was also present; another of the latter species visited the nearby village.
