The weather consisted of moderate northerly winds, sunny skies after an overcast start and temperatures peaking at 12 degrees C.
A male Red-backed Shrike between Wandale Farm, Bempton and North Dykes was the day’s highlight. Additional sightings from the adjacent reserve included a Hobby flying north-west along the cliffs, a Whinchat and four Wheatears; four Siskin were in the nearby village.
Two Bar-tailed Godwits and two Whimbrel remained on the beach between South Landing and South Dykes, with eight Common Sandpipers on the shore near South Dykes representing a notable spring tally. Passerine migrants on the outer head included a Garden Warbler and six Siskin.
