A sunny day, with temperatures reaching 16 degrees C in a light/moderate north-westerly wind, veering south-easterly in the afternoon. Wildfowl again featured during the morning’s seawatch including 12 Pintail flying south. Thornwick Pools hosted three Wigeon, 26 Teal, the juvenile Spotted Redshank, one Green Sandpiper, a Dunlin and 11 Snipe. Such weather conditions often encourage kettles of Common Buzzards to drift onto the headland; a minimum of 13 birds ventured onto the outer head early afternoon. Passerine interest was headlined by a Barred Warbler in the Bay Brambles; a Redwing and two Spotted Flycatchers were also notable.
A juvenile Long-tailed Skua flew south-east at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Whinchat was in residence.
