4th November 2018

An overcast day, with occasional light drizzle and a moderate south-south-westerly wind. During the seawatch, a Great Northern Diver flew north, with 11 Wigeon and 14 Red-throated Divers moving south. During the afternoon, a Long-tailed Duck rested on the sea off Hartendale and, nearby, a Little Auk flew ‘north’ past South Landing.

The Little Bunting was caught and ringed at South Landing in the morning. Other sightings included two Water Rails at Thornwick Pools, nine Curlew, six Stonechat and a Snow Bunting on the Golf Course.
