The weather consisted of strong north-north-easterly winds that gradually eased during a day that started overcast, with temperatures reaching eight degrees C. During the seawatch, a Great Northern Diver flew south and three Manx Shearwaters moved north; two Long-tailed Ducks were still in residence on the sea off Hartendale. Unsurprisingly, there were fewer migrants in evidence given the cooler temperatures, with notable sightings: two Little Ringed Plovers, 12 Chiffchaff, a Blackcap, four Goldcrests, four Wheatears, two Black Redstarts and a Brambling.
