Little Egret, Thornwick Pools by Alan Walkington

Mostly cloudy but clearing during the evening. The temperature reached 18C in a moderate north-westerly wind.

The Black-browed Albatross was present again at Bempton Cliffs RSPB early morning before leaving and reappeared mid-afternoon and was sat on its normal spot on the cliff during the evening.

The morning seawatch was relatively quiet other than a Bonxie and the year’s first juvenile Yellow-legged Gull. A Tufted Duck, 2 Sanderling and 6 Manx Shearwaters were the best of an evening stint.

An eclipse male Pintail on The Lakes and single Little Egret, Common Sandpiper and Dunlin provided most interest on land.
