18th January 2017

It was another overcast day, with light drizzle at times and light south-westerly winds. Seawatching highlights included a Great Northern Diver flying north and a juvenile Glaucous Gull moving in the opposite direction.

The eight White-fronted Geese and one Pink-foot remained. A Great Northern Diver was off South Landing, whilst eight Great Crested Grebes were between South Dykes and Sewerby. Thornwick Pools hosted a Water Rail, the Woodcock remained in South Landing, with a Stonechat on the Links Golf Course near South Dykes.

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