The day started with moderate south-easterly winds and light rain, with the rain only easing during the afternoon. During the seawatch, two Tufted Ducks flew south and a Blue Fulmar headed north.
Migrants were evidence once the rain relented, including 20 Sand Martins, two Swallows, nine Wheatear, a male Common Redstart, one Ring Ouzel, three White Wagtails, 60 Pied Wagtails (roosting at Thornwick), 14 Chiffchaffs and a Lesser Redpoll. In addition, the two Richard’s Pipits remained in their favoured field at North Landing.
West of the Dykes, there were four Common Buzzard, 25 Yellowhammers and 55 Corn Buntings between Bempton and North Dykes. Sightings from Buckton included ten Wheatear, a Yellow Wagtail and two White Wagtail.
