A day of relatively light south-west winds, occasional brighter intervals and a high of 18 degrees C. Unfortunately there was no sign of yesterday’s Song Sparrow – the news that a singing male had been photographed mid-morning at Thornwick Bay only broke late evening. A North American passerine, there have only been ten previous records in the UK, with the only other Yorkshire record at Spurn in May 1964.
A Cuckoo at South Landing was only the year’s second, while three Siskin visited a village garden. Seawatch records included a Common Tern, 32 Sandwich Terns and four Manx Shearwaters.
