As sure as night follows day, a relatively warm, overcast day with light winds brought the expected reward with spring migrants at last. On the outer head these included a Water Rail, six Sand Martins, 53 Chiffchaffs, a Willow Warbler, seven Blackcap, a Siberian Chiffchaff, eight Goldcrest, a Ring Ouzel, three Redwing, two Fieldfare, a Black Redstart, one Wheatear, two Siskin and a Redpoll.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Marsh Harrier, one Sand Martin, eight Chiffchaff, a Black Redstart and 30 Corn Buntings. A Swallow and 12 Chiffchaff were in the nearby village.
