13th July 2023

A warm day with a maximum temperature of 23°C even tough it was mainly cloudy in a moderate westerly.

Seawatching was rather subdued, highlights being 20 Common Scoter, 32 Manx Shearwaters and 3 Sandwich Terns.

Thornwick Pools attracted a Common Sandpiper, an adult and a juvenile Dunlin while the pair of Little Ringed Plovers remained.

Five Spoonbills flew south-east over Bempton Cliffs RSPB early evening and a Marsh Harrier came in off while a Whimbrel and a singing Reed Warbler were noted earlier in the day.
