24th February 2024

After a frosty start, today was bright and spring-like. A light westerly backing south and a maximum temperature of 9°C.

Pink-footed Geese were noted moving north during the morning with 365 counted overhead. The Water Pipit continued to show with Rock Pipits near South Landing and a flock of 50 Yellowhammers and 10 Reed Buntings fed in stubble nearby. The Alexandrine Parakeet is still frequenting the Outer Head.

Three Lapland , 49 Snow and 20 Corn Buntings were at Bempton Cliffs RSPB where 15 Pink-footed Geese headed north-west.
