A cool day with a fresh, blustery WNW wind that brought occasional rain, the temperature ranging between 5 and 8C during daylight hours.  

The principal feature of the morning’s seawatch was 610 Pink-footed Geese flying south in three groups between 0935 and 0955.  Other highlights included 77 Common Scoter, 1 Wigeon, 2 Tufted Duck and 24 Red-throated Divers all passing south.

The Hume’s Warblers at Bempton Cliffs RSPB and Old Fall were both reported to be still present.  A further 200 Pink-footed Geese overflew North Landing while other birds on the Outer Head included a Water Rail, 2 Woodcock, a Stonechat and a Chiffchaff.
