A bright morning was followed by overcast skies; there were moderate south-westerly winds and a high of 19 degrees C. The highlight was a record-breaking influx of eight Caspian Gulls across the headland: apart from a sub-adult and a second calendar-year, all were juveniles. These included three individuals that came in off the sea and head inland, while another was recorded at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Two juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls were also caught up in the same influx. Additional seawatch highlights included 13 Teal, 100 Common Scoters, a Bar-tailed Godwit, 22 Black-tailed Godwits (south), 249 Sandwich Terns (north), ten Mediterranean Gulls and a Marsh Harrier.
Two Gadwall and a Shoveler were in residence on the outer head, with other sightings including a Green Sandpiper, one Greenshank, two Marsh Harriers, a juvenile Merlin and 13 Willow Warblers.
A Marsh Harrier flew north-west through RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Merlin and a Quail were recorded; the latter calling from cliff top grassland in the morning.
