There was a very light north-westerly wind throughout the day, mainly overcast with long spells of drizzle and light rain. The temperature rose to 9C.
Seawatching produced Little Auks (2N) and Pomarine Skuas (2S) again. Other highlights included a single Great Northern Diver each way, 49 Eiders and a Long-tailed Duck heading north. A Black Redstart remained at the Fog Station.
Highlights around the Outer Head included a single Little Egret, Short-eared Owl, Chiffchaff, Blackcap and a Waxwing.
West of the Dykes was more productive. At Bempton, the Hume’s Warbler continued its sojurn, a Black-throated Diver flew NW and a Mediterranean Gull SE and a Lapland Bunting was also seen overhead. Buckton also provided some late autumn interest with a Long-eared Owl in off, a Waxwing at Buckton Pond, 2 Siberian Chiffchaffs and 4 Snow Buntings.
