Sunny throughout, with light easterly winds and a high of ten degrees C. The first notable landbirds of spring were represented by two Long-eared Owls at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and a Black Redstart along the cliff top path east of North Landing. Chiffchaff numbers increased further, with four singing at South Landing and a duo in the Hartendale area. Two Lesser Black-backed Gulls were another indication of changing seasons.
