Misty conditions prevailed during the morning, otherwise there were generally overcast skies, moderate south-west to south-east winds and temperatures reaching a mere five degrees C. The day’s main feature was an influx of Pink-footed Geese; several unseen skeins were heard passing overhead, although as visibility improved, various-sized flocks were observed heading inland and resting on outer head stubbles. Including a skein of 64 geese flying south during the seawatch, a total of 1635 Pink-footed Geese were observed. This movement was also witnessed at neighbouring coastal sites; potentially these sightings related to birds leaving the Humber to feed on the Wolds, but then becoming disorientated in the low cloud. Other notable sightings included a Pintail on the seawatch, a Water Rail at the Golf Course Willows and a Woodcock at South Landing.
