25th August 2022

An overcast day, with a band of rain in the middle of the day and light northerly winds. Thornwick Pools attracted five Wigeon, eight Teal, a Ruff, three Green Sandpipers, a Common Sandpiper, five Dunlin, a Snipe, a Hobby, a juvenile Caspian Gull, four Grey Wagtails and a Yellow Wagtail. A Garden Warbler was in the Bay Brambles and a Common Redstart at RSPB Bempton, with the Red-tailed Shrike lingering nearby.
