A Scandinavian Rock Pipit was among a total of six of the species in the Carr Naze area today, with 30 Pink-feet north over the town, a Tawny Owl in long Plantation and Yellowhammers in song at the Tip and Filey Fields Farm. Yesterday (13th) two Pintail went north and a Siskin was on Brigg Road, with an intermedius Lesser Black-backed Gull at the Dams on 11th – the same day a Red-necked Grebe went north, Grey Plovers were on the Brigg and flying south, a Short-eared Owl was at the Tip and a Mediterranean Gull went south over the Brigg.

Stonechats have been reported from the Rocket Pole Field (a pair) and Hunmanby Gap and Carr Naze (singles), while seabird numbers are increasing rapidly (including the first few Puffins).
