Sunny throughout, with a moderate easterly wind and high of 12 degrees C. The North Marsh area hosted a drake Shoveler, one Little Grebe and a Bar-tailed Godwit. A Little Ringed Plover overflew Holmes Gut, while six Sand Martins and the year’s first Swallow were also in residence. One Short-eared Owl lingered at RSPB Bempton Cliffs along with a Black Redstart.
