Three Dippers, including a singing bird were on Thornton Dale beck and a single Dipper was again in Peasholm Glen. Five Whooper Swans flew south past Marine Drive. Little Auks also featured off the coast today. One flew north out of South Bay and a second Little Auk was feeding opposite post 52 approximately 15 minutes later. A Little Auk flying south off Marine Drive a few minutes late may have been the same bird. A Little Auk flew north past Long Nab and one was photographed at Scalby Mills. An Arctic Tern was still in North Bay and a Chiffchaff was at the Open Air Theatre. Another Chiffchaff was on the north side of Castle Hill near the toilets and a Great Northern Diver was in South Bay. A Water Rail, Kingfisher, approximately 100 Siskin and
