Moderate south-westerly winds continued today. A band of rain arrived by late evening, the first for several weeks. 23 Manx Shearwaters flew north on the seawatch, along with 25 Common Scoters moving south. 19 Sandwich and 1 Arctic Tern were also recorded. At Thornwick Pool wader numbers were up, with a promising 10 adult Dunlin and 2 Redshank. Before the rain arrived, three Barn Owls were hunting at Northcliff Marsh in the early evening. Moth trapping produced a Cream-bordered Green Pea in the Coastguard Cottages trap; with only a few Flamborough records, this nationally scarce moth is always appreciated by moth catchers on the Headland.
