28th February 2017

A day of light west-south-west winds and sunny skies. Seawatching was again disappointing, with two Eider flying north and six Common Scoters moving in the opposite direction. The freshwaters on the headland attracted two Shelduck, 21 Wigeon, 61 Teal, one Pochard and a Water Rail.

West of the Dykes, three Short-eared Owls frequented Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
