It was a much quieter day, with the window from the east closing and cooler conditions encouraging many migrants to depart. Strong north-north-westerly winds gradually relented during a relatively overcast day with a high of 15 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with two Pochard, 19 Arctic Skuas, four Bonxies, 33 Red-throated Divers, 26 Sooty Shearwaters (north) and three first calendar-year Caspian Gulls. Passerine migrants included five Whinchat, five Pied Flycatchers, four Spotted Flycatchers, one Garden Warbler and a Redstart.
The Garganey remained at Buckton Ponds, where there was also a Spotted Flycatcher. Marsh Harrier, Merlin and Hobby were recorded from RSPB Bempton Cliffs once again, where there were also two Garden Warblers, a Redstart and a first calendar-year Caspian Gull.
