A Common Sandpiper was at Burton Riggs this morning, and a pair of Tawny Owls were calling in Burniston village in the early hours. 6 Jays were in a garden near the cricket pitch, and surprisingly 2 Great Skuas were spotted flying west, high over Wykeham Forest. 6 Teal and a Green Sandpiper were at Johnson's Marsh, and 14 Yellow Wagtails and a Reed Warbler were at Long Nab. Passing Long Nab were 6 Arctic Skuas, 5 Great Skuas and a Sooty Shearwater while feeding offshore were 1400 Guillemots and 50 Razorbills.
