A day of unbroken sunshine, light easterly winds and a high of 14 degrees C. The day’s highlight related to a first-summer male Golden Oriole singing briefly on the outer head before being mobbed by crows and disappearing. Otherwise passerine migrants were confined to four Yellow Wagtails and two Wheatear. The dark-bellied Brent Goose, drake Wigeon and a pair of Gadwall were at North Marsh/Palmer’s Flash, while wader interest included a Golden Plover, three Whimbrel and four Common Sandpipers.
Two Short-eared Owls were still at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where there were also two Reed Warblers.
