A day of sunny intervals, occasional light showers early evening and a light/moderate south-westerly wind. During the seawatch, 128 Manx Shearwaters, two Grey Herons, 16 Knot, 16 Sandwich Terns, two Common Terns and two Bonxies flew north. However, the seawatch highlight was the summer-plumaged Black Guillemot that flew north out of Bridlington bay, before landing on the sea off the Fog Station and then drifting north.
Whilst the sea had a northern flavour, birding on the land was distinctly Mediterranean in nature: an Alpine Swift circled low over the Viking Pub for a few minutes early afternoon, before heading off north. The female Subalpine Warbler and male Black-headed Bunting also remained in residence at the Golf Course Willows and Old Fall Steps respectively. Further sightings included Marsh Harrier, Hobby and a Grey Wagtail.
