Light south-easterly winds increased in strength during the morning, but after an increasingly bright morning, fog returned early afternoon; temperatures were pegged back to a maximum of nine degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, a Tufted Duck, 15 Sandwich Terns and an Arctic Tern flew north.
A Pink-footed Goose lingered with the Greylag flock, 16 Teal frequented North Marsh and a pair of Little Grebes was on Hood’s Flash. Two Little Egrets flew south early morning, when two Ring Ouzels were on the outer head. Generally passerine migrants were in lower numbers than the previous day, although two White Wagtails were recorded, along with 11 Brambling and a Hawfinch; the latter attending a garden feeding station in the village. A Willow Warbler caught at North Landing was the first to be ringing this year.
West of the Dykes, sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included single House Martin, Lesser Whitethroat, Common Redstart and Yellow Wagtail.
