High pressure dominated again today but this did allow for further increases in migrants, this was best summed up by a day visitor (Jono Leadley) who nicely summarised his Flamborough experience as follows
“Flamborough was great this morning with Gropper, 2 male Redstarts, Whitethroat, c30 Willow Warblers, several Blackcaps, 2 Yellow Wags, c15 Wheatears. Oh and the Tawny Pipit giving stonking views in the Sheep Field.”
In addition to these there were also 7 Yellow Wagtails on the Golf Course plus 7 Wheatears reported on the Outer Head (which may have included some of those above), the sea watch also had a flava wagtail sp head south. A female type Marsh Harrier was seen over North Landing early on and nearby there were Blackcap, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff which appear to be pretty widespread now. Four dark bellied Brent Geese went south on an otherwise fairly quiet sea watch. Away from migrants there was the very pleasing sight of a total of 204 Linnets on the headland including a single flock of 180 at Cattlemere.
