Relatively overcast with some brighter spells from mid-morning, light northerly winds and a high of 13 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included an Arctic Skua, three Red-throated Divers and 11 Sandwich Terns all moving north. Palmer’s Flash attracted a dark-bellied Brent Goose, two Gadwall and a Teal, while eight Swifts and a Siskin were recorded from the Bowling Green. RSPB Bempton Cliffs continued to host at least one Short-eared Owl.
