5th November 2025

A mild day, mainly overcast after overnight rain in a light southerly. Maximum temperature 14°C.

A Pallas’s Warbler that showed briefly in Outer Head gardens was undoubtedly the bird of the day with a Brambling also there. Another garden visitor was a Black Redstart in the village. A Firecrest and a handful of Goldcrests were in the Golf Course Willows. Elsewhere, two Cetti’s Warblers remained at Thornwick Pools where there was also a Water Rail and 5 Snipe.

A Brambling and a Woodcock were noted at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
