After a relatively bright start, the weather consisted of overcast skies, a light/moderate northerly wind and temperatures that peaked at 16 degrees C. All attention was focussed on the headland’s northern cliffs, with the adult Black-browed Albatross commuting between Buckton and Thornwick Bay throughout, especially showing well at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Single Bonxie, Arctic Skua and a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins were also seen at the latter location, whilst a Red Kite re-appeared at Mid Dykes.
