The weather continued in a warm and settled phase. Mainly sunny, temperatures reaching 19C and with a light easterly wind.
The Black-browed Albatross re-appeared at Bempton Cliffs RSPB after being missing for the previous two days, presumably on a fishing sortie. It repeated its routine of either sitting on the sea, spending time on its favoured place on the cliff face above Staple Newk or flying along the cliff at close range. The morning’s seawatch produced 86 Common Scoters, a Red-throated Diver, 3 Manx Shearwaters and 3 Little Gulls all moving north while there was also an Arctic Skua and were huge numbers of the Head’s breeding seabirds feeding offshore.
At Bempton Cliffs RSPB, other than the albatross, a Marbled White butterfly was on the nature trail – a rare visitor here
