Sunny throughout, with a moderate northerly wind that gradually dropped in strength and a peak of 14 degrees C. A colourful start to the day when a Bee-eater was discovered on overhead wires along Lighthouse Road. After a few minutes it flew north and wasn’t relocated. A Hooded Crow on the golf course was noteworthy, with additional sightings including a Whinchat and five Corn Buntings.
Two summer-plumaged Great Northern Divers flew north during a morning seawatch that also featured 23 Sandwich Terns and two Red-throated Divers. Elsewhere, RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted a Spotted Flycatcher, while a Redwing was sound-recorded over Bempton village overnight.
