Light/moderate south-south-easterly winds, persistent rain/misty conditions for most of the day and temperatures that peaked at 6 degrees C meant birding was difficult. Seawatching from North Landing was rewarded with eight Eiders heading north and three Common Scoter moving south, whilst Puffin numbers continue to increase. Four Red-necked Grebes were again between South Dykes and Sewerby. Single Grey Heron and Golden Plover were present, whilst two Chiffchaffs, two Goldcrests, two Treecreepers, a Mistle Thrush and two Coal Tits were on the Headland, together with the year’s first two White Wagtails.
