Thick fog dominated early morning, though it then quickly lifted to leave a day of sunshine and highs of 10°C. The day’s clear highlight was a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins containing up to 18 individuals. Originally picked up at Long Nab at 8:40am, they passed by Filey at 10:50am, Bempton RSPB at 12:50pm and reached the headland at 14:13pm.
Little of note on land with the exception of a White Wagtail on the Golf Course, Wheatear on the Outer Head, a Stonechat, five Fieldfare at South Landing and two Redwings. In addition, 16 each of Chiffchaff and Goldcrest, one Blackcap, two Sand Martin and eight Swallows were recorded.
The Rough-legged Buzzard continued its stay at Buckton.
