Low cloud, overcast skies and rain was more or less constant during a day that featured light south-south-east winds and temperatures that reached eight degrees C. The inclement weather ensured sightings were sparse, although a Little Owl calling near Micklemires was notable. RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted two Short-eared Owls, and more unusually, a Ring Ouzel.
