24th August 2016

A moderate northerly wind and sunny conditions predominated until cloud built late afternoon. A Sooty Shearwater flew north past the fog station in the evening.

Thornwick Pools attracted six Teal, four Curlew Sandpipers, three Dunlin, a Greenshank, three Redshank and two Snipe. Another Curlew Sandpiper was on South Landing beach, whilst a Greenshank flew south over the outer head. Migrants included Pied Flycatcher and Redstart on the southern edge of the gorse field.

A Hobby frequented the Sewerby area, whilst Ruff, Common Sandpiper and Greenshank were on Buckton Pond.
