The
highlight of the day was the discovery of a juvenile Glaucous Gull along Marine Drive by Chris Bradshaw at 13.38 when it
was heading in the direction of the harbour. Despite being looked for in the
harbour area and in South Bay the bird went missing until 15.50 when it was
seen by Steve Turner on the sea off the harbour wall. Also in the harbour area
were the Great Northern Diver and
the Black-necked Grebe continuing
their long residency and 2 Velvet Scoters seen at 10.00am.
The
Velvet Scoter remained in Cayton Bay with the small group of Common Scoter and
there was a Sanderling there as well.
3
adult Mediterranean Gulls were in the Holbeck car park, a Brambling was seen in
the Forge Valley and a Nordic type Jackdaw was on Stepney Drive.
Finally
today at Wykeham South Lake there was a Kestrel, an Egyptian Goose and 3
Great-crested Grebes.
