A light south-westerly wind was a constant, but periods of heavy overcast, mist, thick fog and even sunshine were all periodic. Seawatching highlights included a dark-bellied Brent Goose flying south, two Gadwall north and a drake Goosander south. In addition, the male Black Redstart remained around the Fog Station.
The day’s highlight consisted a Raven which eventually settled in fields north of Lighthouse Road; a species with only a handful of previous records. Other migrants included three Golden Plover and the year’s first Brambling.
West of the Dykes, records included two Short-eared Owls and 87 Corn Buntings at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
