Sunday 3rd April

A Red Kite passed south early morning at Long Nab and a Black Redstart remained behind the wall by the Skateboard Park on Marine Drive. Three Common Buzzards were over Cloughton Tea Rooms and two on the east side of Jacob's Mount. A pair of Stonechats were below Holbeck and two Dippers and three Grey Wagtails were noted at Troutsdale. Four Oystercatchers were in a field by Seamer Tip bridge and two Shelduck and three Gadwall on flood water in a field of Metes Lane, Seamer. Highlights from Wykeham Lakes were five Goldeneye, 18 Chiffchaffs, 10 Reed Buntings, two Oystercatchers, two Egyptian Geese, seven Great Crested Grebes, three Mistle Thrushes including one collecting nesting material and four Red legged Partridges.
