Sunny throughout, with a light north-easterly wind and temperatures peaked at 15 degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, ten Canada Geese, two Red-throated Divers and two Common Terns flew north, with nine Manx Shearwaters, a Knot and 22 Sandwich Terns flying south.
Two Pink-footed Geese lingered on the outer head along with the Wigeon; three Barnacle Geese also flew south. A Hobby overflew Mid Dykes, a Red Kite appeared over the village (presumably the same bird was later seen at Bempton), whilst Ringed Plover and Little Ringed Plover were also present. The day’s highlight comprised a female Red-breasted Flycatcher at North Landing; additional sightings included a Wheatear and three Siskin. A Hairy Hawker dragonfly was a notable local record.
