Light westerly winds and sunny intervals resulted in a top temperature of 20 degrees C. A Rough-legged Buzzard was the first record over the outer head since a similar-dated record on 1st May 2016. Initially seen circling over the village at 1002hrs, it gradually gained height, heading out east; it was eventually lost from sight at significant altitude at 1030hrs.
A skein of 22 Barnacle Geese that flew north past the Fog Station early morning was unusual. Two Red Kites circled both RSPB Bempton Cliffs and North Dykes, while a Little Egret frequented the outer head and a Common Sandpiper dropped onto Thornwick Pools. A single White Wagtail was present and three Tree Pipits continued their good run.
