15th September 2016

A day of light/moderate north-westerly winds and fog, with visibility severely hampered. Seawatching proved impossible; in fact, locating the sea was hardly possible! Thornwick Pools attracted a Wigeon, 13 Teal, a Knot, one Green Sandpiper, ten Dunlin and a Snipe. Eighteen Sanderling and a Common Sandpiper were at Sewerby, with 13 Sanderling at South Dykes.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Yellow-browed Warbler located at Bempton Cliffs.
