Thursday 10th October

 The cool northerlies continued but the sea didn't quite deliver the expected birds. Highlights past Long Nab included a Great Northern Diver, 6 Velvet Scoters (both also past Marine Drive), 3 Red-breasted Mergansers, 4 Arctic Terns, 9 Arctic Skuas, 6 Little Gulls, and 9 Mediterranean Gulls. A Sandwich Tern was seen past Marine Drive. The Snow Bunting was still at Scalby Mills. A Red-throated Diver in the harbour. A Swallow flew south at Burniston. 56 Gadwall at Seamer tip pool. 80 Linnets at Taylor Way. Chiffchaff, 2 Redwings at Burton Riggs.
