A shocker of a day with early drizzly outbreaks soon coalescing into continual rain that scuppered all further fieldwork attempts. A late
Sooty Shearwater through off the Bill was the day's highlight, with 6
Red-throated Divers also through and 23
Common Scoter settled offshore. Grounded migrant interest was confined to singles of
Redwing at the Bill and
Blackcap at the Grove, whilst the only other news concerned a second
Goosander joining the long-stayer at Ferrybridge.
