An early Hobby flashed by Beacon Hill. Yesterday’s Crane remained in the North Marsh area. There was a small influx of summer migrants as shown by a Firecrest, Whinchat, Whitethroat and Sedge Warbler at Thornwick Pools, three Redstarts at Old Fall, three Whitethroats and four Lesser Whitethroats and many more Willow Warblers than previously. Three Grasshopper Warblers reeled at the Lighthouse Grassland. A Ring Ouzel was at North Marsh and the female Black Redstart remained in the Chalk Tower area. Six Bramblings, two Siskins and a Fieldfare were staging before onward migration. Four Shelduck and five Bar-tailed Godwits overflew the Outer Head.
A Whinchat was at Bempton Cliffs RSPB and a Ring Ouzel along Hoddy Cows Lane.
