15th March 2017

Another largely bright day, with light west-south-westerly winds. During the seawatch, three Shelduck flew south, with four Eider and a Manx Shearwater moving north.

A Hooded Crow overflew the outer head, a male Black Redstart appeared at Oceanview, and additional migrants included a Woodcock, 11 Goldcrests, a Chiffchaff, four Siskin and two Lapland Buntings.

West of the Dykes, two Short-eared Owls were recorded at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
