It was overcast throughout, with a moderate north-easterly wind and temperatures reaching a mere four degrees C. Ten Eiders were off South Landing, while 11 Woodcock provided further evidence of a cold weather influx. The day’s highlight was the discovery of two Shore Larks and 74 Snow Buntings in cliff top fields between Thornwick and North Dykes.
Another two Woodcock were at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, where single Merlin and Short-eared Owl were present.
