A single Swift flew south over Newby and a Northern Wheatear and a single Turtle Dove were in a stubble field at Hundale Point and three further Turtle Doves were reported from a field to the east of Burniston Village Hall. A HOOPOE reported to Birdguides early this morning was seen at approximately 0730hrs at Staintondale near to Rudda Road junction. Despite extensive searching and a brief sighting in early afternoon, the bird could not be relocated. Local enquiries established that it had been in the area since Saturday.
