Light south-easterly winds strengthened slightly during the afternoon, whilst the sun eventually broke through after an overcast start to the day.
The highlight was the continued presence of the Greenish Warbler at Old Fall. It remained elusive for much of the day, but favoured the hedge 75 metres north of the Plantation. However, for a while mid-morning it was heard singing from the middle of the wood. An Icterine Warbler was also discovered along Old Fall Hedge mid-afternoon. Additional migrant interest was provided by a Cuckoo, two Whinchat, two Wheatear, two Pied Flycatchers, five Yellow Wagtails and nine Willow Warblers.
Non-passerine interest included a Marsh Harrier, a Hobby, three Greenshank, two Green Sandpiper, a Snipe, one Golden Plover. The Polish-ringed adult Caspian Gull ‘PLEP’ again roosted east of North Landing in the evening, along with an adult Yellow-legged Gull.
West of the Dykes, an Osprey flew north along the cliffs at Bempton, where three Minke Whales were offshore, whilst six Whinchat and a Wheatear were at Buckton.
