Blustery south-westerly winds were accompanied by sunny intervals and occasional heavy showers; temperatures peaked at 19 degrees C. An adult Roseate Tern and four Little Terns flying south during the seawatch were particularly noteworthy; also heading south were 70 Teal, a Tufted Duck, 38 Common Scoters, 79 Oystercatchers, 22 Knot, 11 Sanderling, 138 Common Terns, ten Arctic Terns and two Arctic Skuas.
The juvenile Wood Sandpiper remained at Thornwick Pools together with seven Green Sandpipers, two Dunlin, two Little Ringed Plovers and three Snipe. The strong winds and heavy showers resulted in an influx of 635 Swifts onto the outer head. The Swift influx was also witnessed over RSPB Bempton Cliffs where 512 flew north-west; a Short-eared Owl frequented the reserve, where a Greenshank flew south-east.
