7th May 2024

An overcast, misty day with a coastal fret and moderate onshore winds resulting in a top temperature of 12 degrees C. Passerine migrants included a Hooded Crow at South Dykes, a late Fieldfare, one Whinchat and six Siskin. A Firecrest seen yesterday at RSPB Bempton Cliffs was relocated in the Dell; a Short-eared Owl and 55 Corn Buntings were also on the reserve.
