28th December 2017

Sunny throughout, but temperatures only reached three degrees C in a moderate westerly wind. During the seawatch, two Eider and a Great Northern Diver flew south, as did 101 Shags from their roost on the North Cliffs. 

A total of 79 Teal and 19 Wigeon frequented the freshwaters on the headland, whilst an impressive 57 Great Crested Grebes sheltered in the bay between South Dykes and Sewerby. South Landing again attracted a Woodcock, with 15 Fieldfare, eight Song Thrush and seven Redwing were indicative of cold weather movement, including two of the former coming in off the sea.
