A relatively overcast day, with a light north-easterly wind and cold; temperatures peaking at four degrees C. A Sooty Shearwater that flew north during the morning seawatch was a surprise, whilst 25 Eiders (24 north) undoubtedly represented a cold weather movement. Further evidence of such included three Woodcocks, seven Song Thrush, nine Redwing and 35 Blackbirds on the outer head. Better still, a lone Waxwing graced Lighthouse Road late morning. Two Nuthatch and a Chiffchaff were the best on offer from South Dykes.
Four Short-eared Owls remained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where another Woodcock was present.
