There were strong south-west winds from early morning which gradually relented, sunny intervals developed after an overcast start and a top temperature of eight degrees C. Three Pale-bellied Brent Geese flew north during a seawatch that also saw two Velvet Scoters heading south and 87 Kittiwakes. The North Marsh area attracted two Shelduck, three Shoveler, 215 Teal and 72 Wigeon. Two Waxwings were near the Old Lighthouse and two Siskins flew west over the outer head.
The Snow Bunting flock grew to 65 birds at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where a single Whooper Swan and three Short-eared Owls were also present. A Short-eared Owl also frequented the cliff top at Buckton.
