A sunny day, with light winds and temperatures reaching four degrees C. While a Bonxie on the seawatch was notable, more unusual was a northerly movement of 59,000 Guillemots, a record winter count. Despite most sites being frozen, 33 Wigeon and 158 Teal remained, while a Little Egret flew south over South Landing. Twenty Snipe represented a notable increase, with 33 Sanderling, a Ringed Plover and one Woodcock also present. Passerine interest included a Chiffchaff, 14 Song Thrush, three Redwing, 26 Fieldfare and a creditable 380 Linnets, 215 of which utilised the Lighthouse cover crop.
Notable sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included ten Grey Partridges, 450 Woodpigeon and 25 Corn Buntings flying south-east.
