A day of moderate westerlies, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 7 degrees C. During the seawatch, 307 Fulmars flew north, as did 472 Gannets and a Pomarine Skua, whilst one Bonxie flew south. Fourteen Kittiwakes were recorded, with a substantial increase in Razorbills (177 north) and three Puffins; the latter equalling Flamborough’s highest ever daily record for January.
Peregrine and Goldcrest were recorded at South Landing, but following local declines, Little Owls calling at Hartendale during the evening were more noteworthy.
A Black Redstart was located on the cliff top at Bempton RSPB and three Short-eared Owls remained at Buckton; a note of caution, could all visiting birders please remain on the paths and not enter the Main Dell.
