7th June 2022

A day of two halves: overcast with spells of drizzle in a moderate north-westerly initially, followed by sunny intervals and lighter easterlies; temperatures reached 15 degrees C. Seawatching was rewarded with 11 Common Scoters, nine Manx Shearwaters, a Little Ringed Plover, nine Sandwich Terns and a Bonxie. A Quail sang from a field adjacent to Thornwick Camp, whilst the Black-browed Albatross continued to show on the nearby cliffs at Bempton.
