15th July 2018

Another sunny day, with a light/moderate southerly wind and temperatures reaching 21 degrees C. A seawatch was rewarded with 39 Common Scoter and 41 Sandwich Terns flying north and two Arctic Terns moving in the opposite direction. Three Grey Wagtails also flew south over the Fog Station. Away from the outer head, three Dunlin and a Little Ringed Plover frequented Thornwick Pools. Passerine interest was headlined by a Willow Tit that appeared in village gardens.

West of the Dykes, 200 Swallows and 32 Yellow Wagtails were seen at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
