There were very strong southerly winds throughout, with rain arriving mid-morning and temperatures peaked at nine degrees C. Seven Teal, a Red-breasted Merganser, a ‘northern’ Herring Gull and one Puffin flew south during the morning’s seawatch. A Short-eared Owl hunted cliff top fields at Bempton late afternoon.
