The weather consisted of blustery south-west winds, sunny intervals with heavy showers in the afternoon and temperatures peaking at 12 degrees C. Three Shelduck flew north and a Gadwall moved south past the Fog Station. Thornwick Pools attracted two Shoveler and 37 Teal, while South Landing hosted a Woodcock and a Brambling was on Croft’s Hill. The day’s highlight concerned an Osprey that flew north over Muntons, while 40 Redwing were on the south side of Bempton village and ten on the nearby reserve.
