29th May 2018

A foggy day, with very little visibility at times which precluded any chance of a seawatch and meant general birding was greatly hampered; moderate/strong northerly winds prevailed once more. The Dotterel remained on Beacon Hill, whilst the Temminck’s Stint also remained on Thornwick Pools, where there were also Little Ringed Plover, Ringed Plover, Sanderling, Redshank and two Dunlin. Elsewhere, a Spotted Flycatcher was located at North Landing and a Redstart near the Lighthouse.

Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Spotted Flycatcher and an ‘acredula’ Willow Warbler.
