An overcast day, with light variable winds and temperatures reaching 17 degrees C. The undoubted highlight was the discovery of Flamborough’s fourth ever Woodchat Shrike south of the lighthouse early morning; although elusive at times, it remained in the Gorse Field throughout. Additional records from the Gorse Field included a Turtle Dove flying south and a dark-bellied Brent Geese moving west. A Hooded Crow frequented fields near North Marsh, a Redwing lingered at Oceanview, while one Common Sandpiper, a Spotted Flycatcher, 25 Wheatears, a Brambling and two Siskin also featured. Meanwhile, the Black-browed Albatross spent considerable time sat on the sea off Bempton Cliffs, although it flew strongly out to sea late evening.
