Sunday 3rd September

It was a day of moderate to strong south easterly winds and broken cloud.

Highlights on the morning sea watch included a Goosander, 1 Tufted Duck, 41 Teal, 26 Common Scoter, 2 RT Diver, 1 Sooty Shearwater, 3 Manx Shearwater, 1 Yellow-legged Gull, 1 Mediterranean Gull, 2 Bonxie, 9 Arctic Skua and a Little Gull.

Still something of a local rarity, a Kingfisher was at Thornwick Pool late afternoon.

At Bempton, a single Ruff flew over and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull was noted.
