A calmer day, with light variable winds, sunny intervals and a high of 18 degrees C. The year’s first substantial tern movement took place during the morning: 39 Arctic, four Common and 237 Sandwich Terns flew north. Two Minke Whales also moved south. Wader passage on the headland included four Green Sandpipers and a Wood Sandpiper. Better still, a Great White Egret lingered at North Marsh all day, while three Little Egrets toured the outer head. Elsewhere, a Greenshank flew south over RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with another doing the same over Buckton village.
