The cold snap continued with overnight frost only slowly easing to 2 °C by early afternoon with a light south-westerly.

Two Shoveler and two Shelduck were on the fresh waters. In addition, the other recent selection of wildfowl continued to reside at their favoured sites. A Golden Plover passed over the Outer Head. Twenty-four Redwing seemed to be newly arrived.

Two Woodcock were found at Bempton Cliffs RSPB.
