A moderate north-westerly wind featured throughout another sunny, but cold day, with temperatures reaching six degrees C. Two Pink-footed Geese lingered near North Marsh, whilst two Pochard on the sea off South Dykes were particularly noteworthy; a species that is getting increasingly scarce. Wader interest included a Ringed Plover and three Little Ringed Plovers, with one of the latter on flooded flashes along Water Lane. Two Goldcrests, a Blackcap and three Siskin visited gardens on the southern edge of the village.
