An overcast morning, with a belt of rain crossing the coast during the middle of the day associated with an increasingly strong wind – initially south-easterly veering south-westerly later; temperatures peaked at 12 degrees by late afternoon. Seawatch highlights included a flock of five Pochard, a Manx Shearwater and an adult Little Gull flying south. The headland’s freshwater sites hosted 26 Wigeon (North Marsh), 150 Teal, two Tufted Ducks and two Goldeneyes. A Woodcock was on the outer head, nine Fieldfares flew in off the sea, while the male Black Redstart remained at Hartendale.
