Brighter intervals prevailed after an overcast start, with a moderate south-westerly wind and temperatures reaching nine degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, 37 Red-throated Divers flew south together with several thousand Guillemots and four Razorbills. Three Whooper Swans moved south over Old Fall late morning, whilst a Water Rail and two Stonechats were in residence south of the Lighthouse. Single Jay and Nuthatch were present at Sewerby.
