27th February 2016

Another overcast day, with a light north-easterly wind and temperatures that peaked at five degrees C. During the seawatch, a Blue Fulmar flew north along with two Eider and seven Velvet Scoter.

A skein containing 57 Pink-footed Geese flew north over the Dykes. A Black Redstart was located near the cliff top south of Head Farm and two Stonechat frequented the Lighthouse Grasslands.

West of the Dykes, the Red-necked Grebe was again off Sewerby Steps, together with 30 Red-throated Divers and 60 Common Scoter.
