Another bright sunny day on the headland, with a moderate north-easterly breeze dominated.
A rather unseasonal Grey Phalarope settled on the sea off the fog station several times before flying east; the first ever April record at Flamborough. Also on the seawatch were a Glaucous Gull flying south mid-afternoon, one Mediterranean Gull heading north and a Pochard; the first of the year on the headland.
On the land, the highlight was a Lapland Bunting flying south over the lighthouse grassland during the morning. Two Long-eared Owls were also present on the Headland. A male Ring Ouzel was near North Marsh, while other migrants included two House Martin, 8 Wheatear, 1 Sedge Warbler and 10 Willow Warbler. A Marsh Harrier flew east along the south side of the head at 9am, before heading south-east out to sea.
At Buckton, a Short-eared Owl was again present along with nine Yellow Wagtail and two Shelduck.
