The weather was kind, with prolonged sunny intervals, light winds and temperatures reaching 11 degrees C. The Mute Swan remained at Thornwick Lakes and 65 Teal and the Goldeneye at nearby Thornwick Pools. Passerine interest included a Redwing, two Mistle Thrush, ten Fieldfares, a male Blackcap and three Corn Buntings. A Short-eared Owl hunted cliff top fields at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with 40 Lapwings on adjacent stubble and three Snow Buntings flew north-west over the reserve.
