There were sunny intervals, showers moving through in the afternoon, a south-westerly wind that increased in strength and a high of 15 degrees C. Five Common Scoters, 11 Sandwich Terns, a Common Tern and 14 Manx Shearwaters were recorded on the morning seawatch. An Arctic Tern was off the Fog Station later, where the season’s first Guillemot chicks were on the water. The showers approaching from the west again pushed Swifts onto the outer head; 159 re-orientated back over Beacon Hill between 1240-1330hrs. In addition, 272 Swifts flew north-west over RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
