Another bright day with prolonged sunny spells, light winds and a top temperature of 21 degrees C. Forty Common Scoters and eight Arctic Terns flew north and six Teal moved south during the morning’s seawatch. Two Shoveler and 20 Teal lingered on the outer head. Green Sandpipers were recorded at Buckton Pond and Oceanview; a Corn Bunting was at the latter site, with another at North Marsh. Minke Whales were feeding off the North Cliffs and RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Additional sightings from the reserve included two Marsh Harriers, a Hobby, three Whimbrel, a Bar-tailed Godwit, two Mediterranean Gulls, 800 Starlings and a Willow Warbler.
Late news from yesterday: a Purple Hairstreak was photographed in the Lighthouse Grassland.
