4th May 2017

A day of moderate/strong north-easterly winds and sunny intervals after an overcast start. During the seawatch, two Red-throated Divers and a Manx Shearwater flew north, whilst eight Sandwich Terns moved south.

Wader sightings included two Little Ringed Plovers, five Whimbel, a Bar-tailed Godwit and two Common Sandpipers, whilst a Whinchat graced South Landing.

West of the Dykes, a Black Redstart was in Bempton village and a Greenshank visited Buckton Pond.
