7th October 2015

Not an ideal day’s birding, with light winds in the morning giving way to moderate north-westerlies later; however, the day started foggy and, after a relatively brief dry spell, it rained during the afternoon. Sightings included six Snipe, three Yellow-browed Warblers, including two in Old Fall, three Ring Ouzels and single Redstart, Grey Wagtail and Willow Warbler.

The Lapland Bunting continued to show well at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
