The wind was a moderate to strong north-easterly. Sunny spells were interspersed with frequent heavy rain showers.
The Bittern was seen twice during the day at Thornwick Pools; once in flight across the pool around midday and again just after 6pm roosting in the main reedbed. Two Richard’s Pipits remained in fields east of North Landing, whilst on the other side of the headland the Red-necked Grebe was offshore between Sewerby and South Dykes along with eight Great crested Grebes.
On the seawatch, 779 Fulmar also flew north, along with 1060 Gannet (plus 27 south) and 102 Kittiwake.
