A bright day, but much cooler with a light/moderate north-westerly wind and temperatures reaching three degrees C. Three Great Northern Divers flew past the Fog Station during the morning’s seawatch, together with a Blue Fulmar and a second-winter Mediterranean Gull. Two Pink-footed Geese, two Tufted Ducks and two Goldeneye remained on Thornwick Lakes, with the Long-tailed Duck still off Cattlemere. On the opposite side of the headland, the Siberian Chiffchaff re-appeared at Thornwick.
At least three Short-eared Owls continued to perform at RSPB Bempton Cliffs. Sightings from nearby Buckton included a Mute Swan flying south-east, a Red Kite, 100 Pink-footed Geese over, 37 Teal, a Tufted Duck, 90 Lapwing, two Lapland Buntings and 110 Corn Bunting.
