A  Great Northern Diver and a Grey Plover flew south past South Cliff.  2 Common Sandpipers were in South Bay. A Ringed Plover and Green Sandpiper were at Wykeham Lakes where an early Brambling flew west mid morning. In Cayton Bay were 2 Wigeon, 9 Ringed Plover and 6 Dunlin. 62 Golden Plover were on Bridestones Moor. A Knot was at Scalby Mills.
