9th January 2017

A dull and overcast day, with a moderate south-westerly wind. A juvenile Glaucous Gull that flew south during a relatively quiet morning represented the highlight of the seawatch. Elsewhere, two Shoveler visited Thornwick Pools.

West of the Dykes, a Short-eared Owl hunted grasslands at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
