The weather consisted sunny skies, a moderate south-easterly wind and a peak temperature of 20 degrees C. Mediterranean Gulls were prominent once again, with two (adult, first summer) off the Fog Station, a first-summer at South Landing and four adults feeding off South Dykes. In the evening 152 Manx Shearwaters flew north, while a 300-strong flock of Common Scoters rested in the bay off the South Cliffs. Elsewhere, a Green Sandpiper flew south and a Little Ringed Plover dropped onto Thornwick Pools; passerine interest included a Grey Wagtail and a Lesser Redpoll. A third calendar-year Caspian Gull flew south-east past RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Late news from yesterday evening, a Quail called from arable fields between Thornwick and North Dykes.
