A light/moderate west-south-westerly wind, with occasional sunny intervals in ostensibly overcast skies. Seawatching was rewarded with three Red-throated Divers flying south, 209 Manx Shearwaters heading north, the year’s first appreciable movement, and 39 Sandwich Terns also north.
An influx of Swifts occurred during the afternoon, with 100 between the Dykes and the village and 331 moving south over RSPB Bempton Cliffs. A Reed Warbler at Oceanview was a late migrant.
