The weather consisted of blustery northerly winds, sunny intervals and a high of 13 degrees C. A Nightingale caught and ringed at Oceanview was a surprise although it was soon apparent a few migrants had made landfall. Additional sightings included a Hooded Crow, ten Willow Warblers, a Common Redstart, the year’s first Whinchat, a Wheatear, 14 Yellow Wagtails, a White Wagtail, two Siskins and a Hawfinch (Water Lane).
An additional three Wheatears were along Hoddy Cows Lane, with another at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where two Whimbrel flew south-east.
