Sunny with occasional showers, a strong westerly wind and best of 11 degrees C. Perhaps the craziest record of the year (& still will be come 31st December) was a Black-throated Diver moulting into summer plumage that visited Thornwick Pools and another small pond along Lighthouse Road!
Seawatching was rewarded with single Eider, Pochard and Sandwich Tern flying north; a Short-eared Owl also flew in off. Elsewhere, a Little Grebe visited Thornwick Pools and a Red Kite drifted west over South Dykes; passerine migrants included two Blackcap and a Willow Warbler. Two Swallows flew north-west at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and a single headed east over the nearby village.
