The weather consisted light south-westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. Without question the day’s highlight related to the early morning discovery of a singing Thrush Nightingale in the burgeoning shrubs opposite Golf Course Willows. Unsurprisingly elusive at times, it gave sporadic bursts of song throughout the day and showed on occasion. This is only the second Flamborough record, with the first trapped and ringed in June 1983. The year’s first Osprey was also recorded when a single flew west low over South Landing/South Dykes from 1005-1008hrs. In addition, three Spotted Flycatchers frequented Old Fall, with another present at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and a White Wagtail graced Thornwick Pools.
