The weather consisted sunny intervals, a light/moderate westerly wind and temperatures peaking at 17 degrees C. A second calendar-year Mediterranean Gull flew north on the morning’s seawatch that also featured two Manx Shearwaters and six Sandwich Terns. Land migrants included a Hobby, one Cuckoo, four Spotted Flycatchers, a singing Redwing, three Wheatear and two Siskin. Along with the Black-browed Albatross, additional sightings at RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Hobby and a Spotted Flycatcher.
A notable late record from 17th May was a Stone Curlew recorded flying over the village during a ‘noc mig’ session.
