A day of sunny intervals, relatively light south-west winds and a high of 17 degrees C. The Daurian Shrike was still at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, as was the Olive-backed Pipit at Thornwick. The year’s first Radde’s Warbler ringed at South Landing represented the most notable new arrival. Ten Bearded Tits rested briefly at the Golf Course Willows before they flew off south. Also on the outer head were 22 Whooper Swans, a Merlin, three Jays, eight Yellow-browed Warblers, a Firecrest, one Pied Flycatcher, a Ring Ouzel, five Wheatear and a Ring-necked Parakeet.
A Short-eared Owl flew in off the sea at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where three Yellow-browed Warblers were also present. Substantial numbers of Pink-footed Geese again toured the headland, with 2500 moving south over Bempton village early evening.
