16th March 2025

A relatively overcast day, with light north-west winds, occasional showers and a maximum of eight degrees C. The day’s highlight was the discovery of a roosting Long-eared Owl at RSPB Bempton Cliffs that showed well. Notable sightings on the outer head included two Mute Swans, seven Lapwing and two Water Rails.
