28th August 2019

A largely overcast day, with spells of light rain; temperatures peaked at 23 degrees C, with winds from the south-west. The Wryneck remained in residence at North Landing, with a Pied Flycatcher, two Garden Warblers and three Whinchat there; two Whinchat and a Wheatear were located on the opposite side of the headland at Hartendale. A further nine Whinchats frequented the Lighthouse Grassland, with a juvenile Mediterranean Gull heading south past the nearby Fog Station. 

A Dotterel flew south(-east) over RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Buckton attracted a Marsh Harrier, a Merlin, a Grasshopper Warbler, four Reed Warblers, 20 Whinchat and five Wheatear.
