15th December 2017

A moderate/strong northerly wind lasted all day, bringing with it squally showers and sunny spells. Seawatching highlights included 39 Red-throated Divers, two Great Northern Divers, 393 Fulmars, eight Kittiwakes, 205 Guillemots and four Razorbills flying north. On the headland itself, the Jack Snipe again frequented Thornwick Pools.

The sea between South Dykes and Sewerby attracted two Great Northern Divers and 33 Great Crested Grebes.
