10th November 2025

A day of light/moderate southerly winds, heavy showers and a high of 14 degrees C. Three Dusky Warblers were present, with a newly arrived individual along the Motorway Hedge joining the two birds at South Landing. A male Northern Bullfinch was at the latter location for its second day, while the Siberian Chiffchaff remained in bushes near Thornwick Pools. Also lingering, one Firecrest was still at the Golf Course Willows. Additional sightings included 27 Whooper Swans flying south, two Woodcock, a Blackcap, three Black Redstarts, 35 Siskin, two Redpoll, one Brambling, and four Snow Buntings. A Great Northern Diver and 70 Little Gulls were the best of a morning seawatch.

Five Whooper Swans headed south-east over Bempton village, where 20 Siskin and a Redpoll were also recorded; a Yellow-browed Warbler remained at the nearby reserve.
