1st April 2019

Brighter spells established after a cloudy start, with a moderate south-easterly wind and temperatures reaching nine degrees C. Seawatching highlights included 152 Fulmars and a Manx Shearwater flying north, with a Bonxie lingering offshore. A Swallow overflew Thornwick Pools, whilst three Wheatears were located on the outer head, with an additional individual at Speeton. North Marine Road attracted a Black Redstart, whilst Old Fall hosted a Firecrest; presuming different to the bird last seen there on Friday, the fourth individual of the last week.
