The weather consisted of light northerly winds, sunny intervals throughout and temperatures that peaked at 15 degrees C. Five Manx Shearwaters flew north during the morning’s seawatch, with 17 Sandwich Terns and an Arctic Tern also heading past the headland. A Pink-footed Goose remained with the Greylag flock, with Thornwick Pools attracting a Ringed Plover. Passerine migrants included a Spotted Flycatcher and two White Wagtails; a juvenile Stonechat graced the Gorse Field and a Corn Bunting frequented hedgerows along the South Cliffs. Three Spoonbills that flew south-east at RSPB Bempton Cliffs provided the day’s highlight.
