A much warmer day, with moderate south-westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures peaking at 20 degrees C. Seawatching highlights included a Red-throated Diver, two Blue Fulmars, 12 Manx Shearwaters, two Sandwich Terns and two Common Terns flying north, with a Bonxie lingering offshore.
A Hobby flew west over Stainforth’s Flash, whilst Thornwick Pools attracted two Little Ringed Plovers and two Dunlin. The day’s highlight was a Bee-eater which rested briefly at RSPB Bempton Cliffs at 1025hrs, before it headed west towards Buckton and wasn’t relocated. Two Corn Buntings were seen at North Landing, with one bird nest building.
