There was persistent, light rain throughout a day of very light winds and a top temperature of just seven degrees C. However, these resulted in an arrival of northbound passerine migrants that included a Ring Ouzel, one Fieldfare, 21 Wheatears, a scattering of Willow Warblers including birds on the cliff edge, a flock of eight White Wagtails, three Brambling and three Lesser Redpolls.
Elsewhere, a Short-eared Owl hunted fields near Buckton Pond. Another Short-eared Owl frequented RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where additional sightings included single Wheatear and Brambling. Two Yellow Wagtails were recorded from the nearby village.
