Foggy throughout, with visibility only clearing on the southern side of the headland; seawatching proved impossible. The Thornwick area hosted a Mute Swan, 31 Teal, 15 Tufted Ducks, a Water Rail and eight Snipe. On the opposite side of the headland, South Landing beach attracted a Little Egret, two Whimbrel, two Bar-tailed Godwits, 29 Ringed Povers, 26 Dunlin and six Knot. A Common Redstart was present at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with a Pied Flycatcher in the nearby village.
