30th July 2020

A relatively overcast day, with light rain during the morning; temperatures reached 16 degrees C in light south-easterly winds. During the seawatch 75 Common Scoters, two Red-throated Divers, two Sooty Shearwaters, 60 Manx Shearwaters, a juvenile Mediterranean Gull, 43 Sandwich Terns and three Bonxies flew north. Adding further excitement, two Minke Whales spent the day feeding offshore. 

RSPB Bempton Cliffs hosted a Merlin, a Tree Pipit that flew south-east and seven Willow Warblers, whilst a Minke Whale headed north.
