The temperatures were lower than of late, with a light/moderate north-north-westerly wind resulting in peak temperatures of 18 degrees C. Four Teal, 88 Common Scoters, three Manx Shearwaters and 16 Sandwich Terns flew north during the morning’s seawatch. Thornwick Pools hosted four Teal, two Little Ringed Plovers and a Green Sandpiper, while the first southbound migrant Wheatear was nearby. Both the Black-browed Albatross and Red-tailed Shrike continued in residence at Bempton.
