The blocking anticyclone remains in place so it was yet another cloudless day with a light south-westerly and a maximum temperature of 13°C.
A pair of Gadwall were at Palmer’s Flash and a Bar-tailed Godwit was at Thornwick Lakes. Summer migrants continued to trickle in and included a Black Redstart, a single White Wagtail, four Blackcaps, 36 Chiffchaffs and a Brambling. Hirundines numbered seven Sand Martins, five Swallows and two House Martins.
The first Grasshopper of the year reeled at Bempton Cliffs RSPB where three Chiffchaffs and two Swallows were also seen. Buckton Pond attracted four Snipe, a Lapwing, four Chiffchaffs and a Swallow.
