A moderate northerly wind persisted throughout the day. Weather was very mixed, with sunny spells during the morning and occasional hail showers. Conditions in the afternoon were overcast, with some sleet later on.
The Bittern showed again at Thornwick Pools, roosting high in the reeds just before dark. A female Black Redstart was at North Landing and may relate to the individual that has been seen sparodically in this area for over a month. Three Goosander (1 drake) were on the sea between Sewerby and South Dykes, though there was no sign of the Red-necked Grebe.
Highlights on the seawatch included 355 Fulmar, 7 Red-throated Diver, 3 Eider, 6 Common Scoter, 125 Shag and 25 Kittiwake.
