Initially westerly, winds strengthened and switched to a northerly direction; bright throughout, with a top temperature of 15 degrees C. A quiet day, with the Black Redstart again on the cliffs between the Lighthouse and the Fog Station. Otherwise a calling male Grey Partridge along Lighthouse Road and a Golden Plover south over Bempton village were the only other notable records.
Late news from Friday night, a total of 41 flocks of Common Scoters were sound recorded during a ‘noc mig’ session in the village: this represented the second largest such total since recording began five years ago. These birds will be on migration from wintering grounds in the Irish Sea to northern Europe and transit across country.
