Light south-easterly winds established towards the end of a relatively overcast day, with a high of ten degrees C. Wildfowl interest included the eight Egyptian Geese, a Shoveler and two Gadwall, while a Water Rail remained at Thornwick Pools. A total of eight Chiffchaffs represented an increase and included a single at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; a lone Mediterranean Gull was also on the sea off the reserve. Other passerine migrants on the outer head included a Redwing and eight Siskin.
