Rather
unusual today that the highlight wasn’t a bird, it wasn’t even a mammal, it was
in fact a cartilaginous fish. 2 Basking Sharks (Cetorhinus maximus), the world’s second largest fish were seen
from a boat off Marine Drive this morning. One was about a mile off and heading
south at 09.00 the other was only about ½ mile off and also heading south.
Over Peasholm this morning a Swift and 9 Meadow
Pipits, a single Bar-tailed Godwit in Jackson’s Bay and at Scalby Mills this
afternoon we had a Kingfisher, 2 Ringed Plover, a rather brief second winter
Yellow-legged Gull and 4 Teal flying south.
