18th March 2022

Sunny throughout, with a light south-easterly wind developing and temperatures peaked at 11 degrees C. A quieter day, with a clear out of migrants and few signs of new arrivals. The North Marsh area hosted 56 Teal and eight Wigeon. Passerine interest included 18 Redwing, a Fieldfare, one Goldcrest, five Chiffchaff, two Siskin and a Brambling. Ten Lapland Buntings remained at Buckton, while a pod of at least 15 Bottlenose Dolphins showed well off RSPB Bempton Cliffs and the Fog Station early morning.
