Sunshine prevailed after a misty start, with light variable winds and temperatures peaking at 11 degrees C. An arrival of migrants reflected the favourable conditions and included the year’s first Little Ringed Plover at Thornwick Pools, a Wheatear on the nearby cliff top, a Black Redstart also near Thornwick, 13 Chiffchaffs, three Goldcrests, a Redwing, and 33 Siskin; the Siberian Chiffchaff also remained. Four Wheatears appeared on the cliff top between Buckton and Bempton, while two Chiffchaff and single Siskin and Brambling visited the reserve.
