A moderate wind from the east backed northerly later during a day that started with heavy rain and ended with sunny intervals; temperatures reached 12 degrees C. Hedges adjacent to Thornwick Camp’s New Workings attracted a Little Owl, whilst a lone Short-eared Owl hunted the Lighthouse Grasslands. South Landing hosted single Yellow-browed Warbler and Spotted Flycatcher; four Crossbills flew north over nearby gardens. Another Yellow-browed Warbler and a Merlin were recorded at Oceanview.
An ‘eastern’ Lesser Whitethroat and a Yellow-browed Warbler were the most notable records from RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
