The weather consisted of moderate south-west winds, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching ten degrees C. A tally of 242 Fulmars during the morning’s seawatch represented an increase, although far fewer Guillemots were in residence after yesterday’s large return to the cliffs. Scarce of late, four Red-legged Partridges frequented Beacon Hill, whilst three Short-eared Owls hunted cliff top fields at RSPB Bempton Cliffs late afternoon.
