Puffins, Fog Station by Alan Walkington

Fog was the order of the day, sometimes visibility being down to less than 100m and finally starting to disperse late afternoon. The temperature reached15C in a light to moderate south-easterly wind.

An evening seawatch saw 16 Eiders and an Arctic Skua flying north and 2 Manx Shearwaters south. The only passage waders were 3 Dunlin.

The Black-browed Albatross returned to Bempton Cliffs RSPB mid-afternoon after being missing since early yesterday morning. Passage waders were also in evidence at Bempton with single Greenshank, Dunlin, Whimbrel and Curlew.
