A moderate to fresh southerly pushed bands of rain, occasionally heavy, across the headland. The maximum temperature was 11°C.
Seawatching highlights included a Shoveler, five Common Scoter, six Red-throated Divers and eight Lesser Black-backed Gulls.
A Marsh Harrier flew westwards over the village and a Green Sandpiper was over Head Farm. Thornwick attracted a Willow Warbler and yesterday’s Garganey was still present. Six Wheatears were counted along the North Cliffs and a Little Grebe was at North Marsh. Two Brambling and three Siskin visited a village garden and the Rose-ringed Parakeet remained on the Outer Head.
A nice overnight arrival
Bempton Cliffs RSPB attracted a very elusive Firecrest as other highlights included a Coal Tit, unusual in spring here, a Willow Warbler, eight Chiffchaff, two Blackcap, three Goldcrest and two Wheatear.
