Sunny throughout, with light/moderate south-west winds and a high of 12 degrees C. A drake Long-tailed Duck that flew north represented the best of the morning’s seawatch. Towards dusk, a Merlin flew south-east from the Fog Station. Other notable sightings included the eight long-staying Egyptian Geese, a Gadwall, one Woodcock, eight Redwing and seven Siskin.
Best of all, a Bittern was sound-recorded flying over Bempton village during the night.
