20th September 2023

An overcast day with spells of heavy rain, strong south-westerly winds and temperatures that reached 17 degrees C. A juvenile Sabine’s Gull was the highlight of the seawatching that also featured a Pale-belllied Brent Goose, 50 Little Gulls, a first calendar-year Yellow-legged Gull and 20 Arctic Skuas. The Red-breasted Flycatcher remained at North Landing, while RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted four Short-eared Owls.
