Light winds throughout, with a switch from northerlies to easterlies in the afternoon; there were sunny skies throughout and a high of 16 degrees C. An evening seawatch was rewarded with a juvenile Sabine’s Gull amongst several hundred Little Gulls, two Sooty Shearwaters and four Pale-bellied Brent Geese. A colour-ringed Caspian Gull rested on High Stacks, while a Nuthatch that visited a Flamborough village garden was certainly unusual.
A total of 35 Pink-footed Geese flew south over RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where 106 Common Scoters, a Mediterranean Gull and one Marsh Harrier were also recorded.
