A Dipper was on the River Derwent at Wrench Green, two Common Eider (1M, 1F) were on the sea by The Sealife Centre and a Barn Swallow had returned to territory at Hutton Buscel. The first Sedge Warbler of spring was at Seamer Tip Pool along with two Willow Warblers, nine Gadwall and two Little Grebe. An Osprey flew north over Saltpans Road, Cloughton Wyke, attracting the attention of local corvids and a Little Owl, two Lapwing, a male Peregrine Falcon and a Mistle Thrush were also present.
