It was another overcast day, with light winds and temperatures peaking at six degrees C. Seawatch highlights included two Goldeneye and a Lapwing moving south, 50 Little Gulls, a very late Sandwich Tern south, four Little Auks and a Manx Shearwater south. The remains of a Water Rail were discovered at the Fog Station where a Swallow continued in residence. Four Chiffchaffs on the outer head ensured the previous December record (two birds) was easily broken. A flock of Bar-tailed Godwits recorded on an overnight ‘noc mig’ session in Bempton village and two Woodcock in Flamborough village were potentially early signs of cold weather movement that will surely increase over forthcoming days.
