A relatively overcast day, with light winds initally resulting in temperatures reaching 13 degrees C. Conditions were clearly more conducive and resulted in the year’s first Firecrest making landfall at North Landing. A single Hooded Crow was also fresh in, touring the newly ploughed fields on the outer head. Additional migrants included two Golden Plovers, a Short-eared Owl, nine Goldcrests, a Blackcap, 21 Redwing, three Fieldfares and two White Wagtails.
Five White Wagtails were on fresh plough between RSPB Bempton Cliffs and North Dykes along with two Redwing. Two Short-eared Owls and a Woodcock remained on the reserve.
