A relatively bright day, with sunny intervals, a moderate westerly wind and temperatures reaching 15 degrees C. The North Marsh wetland complex attracted two Pintail, two Gadwall, two Little Grebes and a Shoveler. Two Red Kites flew west from the outer head during the morning, while several Common Buzzards did the same. Two Grey Partridges near the lighthouse were notable, while the long-staying Water Rail was still near the Golf Course Willows and a Woodcock at South Dykes. The year’s first Wheatear (Oceanview) headlined a passerine migrant list that included eight Redwing, a Fieldfare, 15 Siskin and a Brambling.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included four Golden Plovers, two Short-eared Owls, two Redwing, six Chiffchaff and eight Siskin.
