Mild temperatures continued, with overcast skies and a light westerly wind.
Due to the weather conditions the sea watch was relatively quiet, with Velvet Scoter, 46 Common Scoter, 56 RT Diver and 2 DB Brent Geese being the highlights. Other off-shore records related to two GN Diver off Bempton, 36 Common Scoter and a single LT Duck at South Landing.
In what has been an exceptional year for the species on the headland, a male Kingfisher briefly visited Thornwick Pools. A Lapland Bunting flew south over Oceanview, whilst 200 Pinkfeet were also logged flying south during the day. Singles of Blackcap and Chiffchaff were also noted.
