With a few days of wilder weather in prospect interest in the land dwindled and most attention was given to the sea, with 78
Balearic Shearwaters, 17
Arctic Skuas, 2
Manx Shearwaters, 2
Sooty Shearwaters and singles of
Great Skua and
Long-tailed Skua the chief rewards from the Bill. The
Barred Warbler maintained an occasional presence in the Obs Quarry, with double figure totals of
Yellow Wagtail,
Wheatear and
Chiffchaff providing the bulk of the grounded migrant tally at the Bill. Elsewhere, a
Merlin was at Ferrybridge where the wader selection included 5
Bar-tailed Godwits, 2
Sanderling and singles of
Knot and
Little Stint.
