Sunny throughout, with a blustery south-easterly wind establishing during the afternoon and a high of 13 degrees C. An arrival of migrants included a Short-eared Owl, 65 Sand Martins, three Swallows, four Blackcap, two Common Redstarts, 23 Wheatear and a White Wagtail. In addition, four Pink-footed Geese and a Golden Plover frequented the outer head.

Elsewhere, a Green Sandpiper and three Swallows overflew RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where eight Wheatear made landfall; a further eight Wheatear were on fields between the village and the reserve.
