A relatively overcast day, with light south-west/south-east winds and temperatures reaching five degrees C. During the morning’s seawatch, two Great Northern Divers, two Bonxies and two northern Herring Gulls flew past the Fog Station. Overwintering Black Redstarts often feature in the same location, but today’s tally of three there, including two adult males, was notable. Three Long-tailed Ducks sheltered on the sea off Hartendale, whilst notable passerine records from nearby South Dykes included six Goldcrests, two Nuthatch and a Grey Wagtail.
