23rd February 2019

A foggy/misty day, with a light south-easterly wind. Visibility was significantly impaired, resulting in a quiet day. The day’s highlight related to the morning discovery of two Swallows at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. This represented the county’s earliest ever record (previously, two at Bolton-on-Swale on 3rd March 1995) and was followed by southbound single(s) during the afternoon at Holmpton and Spurn.
