A distinctly autumnal feel to the cool morning gave more hope than results, with just a smattering of grounded migrants throughout the day. Tree Pipit and Yellow Wagtail numbers remained much the same as yesterday but a small influx of Willow Warblers, Wheatears and House Martins made up the numbers. Highlights in the field included a fly-over Hobby, two Spotted and single Pied Flycatcher. The sea was reasonably quiet again with just singles of Arctic Skua and Bonxie with a supporting cast of ten Manx Shearwaters. A little influx of waders at Ferrybridge saw Sanderling, Knot and Turnstone numbers fall just short of 20 apiece, as well as two Little Terns, 15 Wheatears and five Yellow Wagtails.
