18th September 2021

Sunny intervals throughout, with a light easterly wind developing and temperatures reached 18 degrees C. A total of 152 Teal, five Bar-tailed Godwits, 14 Little Gulls and two Pomarine Skuas flew south past the Fog Station in the morning. Thornwick Pools attracted 24 Teal, ten Snipe, two Dunlin, a Green Sandpiper and yesterday’s juvenile Spotted Redshank. Single Green Sandpiper and Grey Wagtails overflew the village, whilst a Hobby headed east over Whelkie Wynds.

The Black-browed Albatross re-appeared at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Greenshank flew south-east; a Marsh Harrier and 200 Linnets were at nearby Buckton.
