A relatively bright day, with moderate south-westerly winds and temperatures reaching 23 degrees C. Three juvenile Caspian Gulls and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull were seen off the Fog Station, where the highlight of the morning’s seawatch was a spooned adult Pomarine Skua that flew south. A Minke Whale swam north, with five Shovelers and 16 Whimbrel moving south.
Elsewhere, a juvenile Caspian Gull visited Thornwick Lakes, the juvenile Wood Sandpiper remained on Thornwick Pools and a Cuckoo was seen on the roadside between North Dykes and Bempton. Little Egrets were recorded at both North & South Landing and Buckton Pond.
Warblers were on the move at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with a Wood Warbler and 31 Willow Warblers moving through. A juvenile Caspian Gull flew past, while two Hobbies moved south-east and a Cuckoo remained in residence. Two Minke Whales fed offshore.
