Sunny intervals throughout the morning were followed by cloudier skies, with light/moderate south-westerly winds and temperatures reaching seven degrees C. Waterfowl interest included the eight Mute Swans and one Whooper Swan at Thornwick Lakes, two Shelduck, 57 Wigeon and 52 Teal. Two Water Rail and the long-staying Little Grebe were also present. The south-westerlies pushed raptors onto the headland, with three Red Kites vying for airspace alongside 12 Common Buzzards. The Rose-ringed Parakeet spent the day commuting between gardens and the Golf Course Willows. Passerine interest included 16 Stonechats (a March record), 63 Redwing, ten Pied Wagtails and two Scandinavian Rock Pipits.
Elsewhere, the Black Redstart showed well at RSPB Bempton Cliffs for the majority of the day.
