Sunny throughout, with light onshore winds and a high of 24 degrees C. The day’s highlight was a Bee-eater that flew over the cliff top at Wolds Farm at 0945hrs; after circling, it then headed in a south-easterly direction towards the village. Nearby, Thornwick Pools attracted two Gadwall, two Shoveler, a Wigeon, four Teal, a Little Ringed Plover, a Ringed Plover, three Dunlin, two Oystercatchers, two Redshank, a Green Sandpiper and one Snipe.
Five Whimbrel were at Beacon Hill, a Hobby flew over the Golf Course and ten Yellow Wagtails represented a notable increase. Two Minke Whales were lunge feeding amongst a ‘seabird frenzy’ off North Landing, while nine Arctic Terns were seen off the Fog Station.
