Heavy overnight rain cleared after dawn to leave a relatively overcast day, with temperatures peaking at 13 degrees C in light winds. Three ‘northern’ Herring Gulls were the standout of a quiet seawatch. The Water Pipit and two Shore Larks remained, while a Jack Snipe was flushed near Thornwick Pools. Elsewhere, two Mistle Thrush, four Redwing and 17 Siskins were at South Dykes, where a Short-eared Owl hunted the adjacent Links Golf Course.
Three Short-eared Owls, 71 Snow Buntings and two Lapland Buntings were recorded at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, along with 11 Lapwing and 47 Corn Buntings.
