Fresh westerly’s and sunshine early morning. Highlights included an adult Caspian Gull on the Golf Course; a new bird that makes it 4 Caspian Gulls in 4 days– a new Flamborough record!
However, more notable still were three Cory’s Shearwaters together, loafing offshore of the Fog Station during the afternoon from 1525hrs.
Several hundred hirundines fed over the golf course with just a handful of Swifts remaining; single juvenile Whimbrel and juvenile Curlew were also on the Golf Course. Small numbers of Willow Warblers, Lesser Whitethroats, Common Whitethroats and Yellow Wagtails all appeared in migrant habitat, with a Wheatear on the Golf Course.
At Thornwick Pools this evening were one juv Ruff, six Common Sandpiper, three Dunlin and two Yellow Wagtails. A Green Sandpiper flew south over Old Fall Hedge.
Additional for yesterday, Paul Reed photographed a Marsh Harrier with green wing-tags with the letters NS on the right wing.
