4th March 2020

A relatively sunny day, with light westerly winds and temperatures peaking at seven degrees C. The morning’s seawatch was quiet, although a lone Puffin flew north. 

The Richard’s Pipit remained in the cliff top field immediately east of North Landing, the Black Redstart showed well at the Fog Station and 18 Snow Buntings frequented stubbles/plough along the South Cliffs east of South Landing. Additional sightings included a Chiffchaff on the cliff top near Old Fall which then flew north and a Stonechat at Hartendale.
