After a sunny start, increasing cloud brought light rain during the afternoon; chilly despite relatively light south-west winds, with temperatures peaking at six degrees C. Seawatch highlights included 38 Red-throated Divers, 898 Fulmars, two Manx Shearwaters and 2588 Kittiwakes flying north. The Barnacle Goose, 27 Wigeon, 60 Teal and a Coot frequented North Marsh. Passerine interest included two Redwing and a Chiffchaff, but pride of place went to a House Martin that flew east at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; the latter potentially Yorkshire’s earliest ever.
