28th June 2021

An overcast day, with a light north-easterly breeze and temperatures reaching 16 degrees C. Late evening news broke of the Black-browed Albatross having been photographed flying along the cliff edge at Thornwick Bay towards RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 1850hrs. Otherwise, eight Eiders flew north during the morning’s seawatch, along with a Red-throated Diver, two Manx Shearwaters and a Whimbrel. Thornwick Pools hosted two Wigeon, three Little Ringed Plovers and a Green Sandpiper. Elsewhere, a Mute Swan rested on the sea off South Landing and a Red Kite overflew Mid Dykes.
