Overcast, with persistent but light rain during the morning, gentle winds and a high of ten degrees C. The Hume’s Warbler remained on the outer head, as did the Dusky Warbler in Old Fall. Better still, a Little Bunting was along the South Cliffs mid-morning, but soon flew north. There appeared to be a small arrival of migrants following heavy overnight rain, including thrushes and at least seven Woodcock in particular. Other migrant totals included 11 Whooper Swans, eight Russian White-fronted Geese, two Long-tailed Ducks, two Great Egrets, a Marsh Harrier, six Lapwings, one Jay, 11 Twite, 17 Siskins and two Snow Buntings.
Notable records from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included seven Whooper Swans south-east, a Great Northern Diver, eight Woodcock, a Siberian Chiffchaff, a Lesser Whitethroat, 2154 Starlings, a Ring Ouzel, one Twite, three Siskins and two Snow Buntings.
