A generally overcast day, with increasingly heavy showers and light/moderate westerly winds. The highlight of the morning’s seawatch related to four Sandwich Terns moving north. A Jack Snipe lingered at Thornwick Pools and two Woodcock were also located. The headlines were three Firecrests, including an individual around the car park at Thornwick Pools, and a Hawfinch along Lighthouse Road. Other migrant sightings involved five Blackcap, nine Chiffchaffs, a White Wagtail, six Brambling and four Siskin.
West of the Dykes, records from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included a Black Redstart and two White Wagtails. Nearby, Buckton attracted a Water Rail, one Firecrest, three Chiffchaff and a Brambling.
