26th April 2018

A day of relatively strong south-west winds and sunny intervals. A single Little Gull flying north and 11 Sandwich Terns were logged during the seawatch. The Greenshank lingered on Stainforth’s Flash and the Short-eared Owl was seen again near the Lighthouse. However, a Cuckoo at South Landing represented the first of the year, as was a Woodlark that flew west over the outer head. Birds trapped during a ringing session included a Rook; only the second such record at Flamborough.
