The weather consisted of light northerly winds and sunny intervals. During the seawatch, one Teal, three Eider, 56 Common Scoter, 16 Manx Shearwaters, a Whimbel and ten Sandwich Terns flew north.
The day’s highlight related to an adult Pectoral Sandpiper that arrived at Thornwick Pools at 1450hrs and was still present in the evening. This represents only the fourth Flamborough record and the first since 2007.
Other records from Thornwick included a Shoveler, one Grey Heron, three Oystercatcher, three Little Ringed Plovers and two Dunlin. An adult Mediterranean Gull frequented the Sewerby/South Dykes area.
A Hummingbird Hawk-moth was located in the village.
