A quiet day with relatively settled weather, the morning’s seawatch produced an intermedius Lesser Black backed Gull and a few Kittiwakes were in evidence with 12 south and 58 north. Elsewhere there was a female Shoveler at Thornwick Pool (BR) and 30 Linnets came in to roost.

Although not really a “latest sighting” congratulations to Flamborough birder and photographer Andy Hood who’s image of the Desert Wheatear in the snow at Bempton from last year has just won the Birdwatch magazine monthly photo challenge.
