Variable in direction, winds strengthened during the day which ended with moderate south-easterlies, overcast skies and temperatures that reached eight degrees C. Seawatch highlights included 18 Little Auks (17 south), a juvenile Pomarine Skua north, four dark-bellied Brent Geese and nine Little Gulls; another Little Auk was off South Landing. Thornwick Pools attracted 108 Teal and a Goosander, while nearby Woodcock Road continued to attract 15 Waxwings. In addition, four Snow Buntings were present on the outer head.
The Long-eared Owl continued to entertain at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a Hen Harrier, a Jack Snipe, one Long-tailed Duck, a Ring Ouzel and a lone Snow Bunting also provided a late autumn flavour.
