A relatively overcast day, with strong southerly winds and very mild temperatures peaking at 15 degrees C. Seawatch highlights included three Eider, two Knot, 13 Dunlin, nine Redshank and a Lesser Black-backed Gull flying south. The Water Rail remained at Thornwick Pools and the male Black Redstart at the Fog Station. The most notable sighting related to a male Ring Ouzel that appeared at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; potentially the individual present on site in December, or possibly a newly arrived migrant?
