Sunday 23rd October



 Two Yellow-browed Warblers were still along the Cleveland Way south of Holbeck car park, a single Yellow-browed Warbler was in the hedge opposite Crook Ness car park along with two Chiffchaff, (one singing) and six Goldcrest. A Chiffchaff was also at Cliff Top House in the sycamores. Another Yellow-browed Warbler was along the cliff top above the Sea Life Centre along with 10 Blackbirds and five Goldcrest. A Dipper showed well at Scalby Mills just before sunrise. A Swift sp. was seen flying north over Burniston at 1350hrs, stimulating conjecture regarding it's identity. Two Dunlin, 10 Great crested Grebes, 11 Wigeon, 10 Lapwing, one Kingfisher, one Grey Wagtail, one Marsh Tit and one Jay were at Wykeham East Lake this afternoon. 125 Wigeon were at Scalby Mills at high tide. Good numbers of Redwings, Blackbirds and Song Thrushes were heard passing over Middle Deepdale during the late evening.
