27th July 2026

A relatively bright day, with a moderate westerly wind and high of 23 degrees C. An arrival of Willow Warblers was apparent: 24 were shared between the Old Fall circuit, South Dykes and Oceanview, indicating the potential scale of numbers that must have been present across the entire headland. In addition, a juvenile Spotted Flycatcher and the long-staying Quail lingered at Old Fall. Other notable sightings included three Grey Wagtails on the outer head and a juvenile Red Kite over Bempton village.
