A bright start to a day with light, overcast skies later; light south-west winds and temperatures reached five degrees C. Only the year’s second Red-necked Grebe flew south during the morning’s seawatch, with two Black Redstarts still in residence around the Fog Station. Elsewhere, 48 Pink-footed Geese included a skein of 47 birds over North Dykes and an individual touring the headland with the Greylag flock; the lone dark-bellied Brent Goose was also located on fields near North Dykes. A total of 15 Stonechats included three birds at North Marsh and a similar number at South Landing. The Ring Ouzel was again reported from RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
