Sunny throughout, with very light winds and a high of 16 degrees C. The warmer conditions resulted in a small arrival of migrants headlined by a Ring Ouzel (Thornwick), five Green Sandpipers (three Thornwick Pools, two North Marsh) and the year’s first Yellow Wagtail; potentially the same bird flying south-east over RSPB Bempton Cliffs and North Marsh. Additional migrants included two Pink-footed Geese, nine Snipe, a Red Kite, one Water Rail, a Short-eared Owl (Gorse Field), 26 Sand Martins and 11 Willow Warblers. An additional six Willow Warblers were at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a lone Short-eared Owl remained.
