At Thornton-le-Dale the number
of Hawfinches in the churchyard had
increased again to 9 and there was a Jack Snipe on the village football field.
The ♂ Blackcap was still along
Valley Road and there was also a Woodcock seen nearby; on Folkton Carr there
were 35 Curlew, a ♀ Stonechat and a Barn Owl and along the riverbank at Wrench
Green 5 Mandarin Duck, 2 Snipe, 2 Woodcock, 2 Dippers, a Marsh Tit and a couple

This afternoon three Little Gulls were discovered at Scalby
Mills feeding where the beck comes into the bay, 2 adults and a 1st
winter which showed well until dark and in town 51 Purple Sandpipers roosted on
the Lighthouse steps at high tide (including the green flagged Spitzbergen
bird); the gull roost in South Bay included 13 Mediterranean Gulls (2 x 1st
winter, 4 x 2nd winter and 7 adults), 3 Common Gulls and 260
Black-headed Gulls and there was also a Guillemot in the Bay plus 900 Starlings
roosted in Old Town.
Also today there were 3
Hawfinches in Pickering churchyard but officially this location is about 100
metres outside of our recording area.
