Foggy throughout, a day lacking wind with a high of just four degrees C. The dedicated at RSPB Bempton Cliffs had clearly eaten more than their fair share of carrots over the festive season, as they were able to locate a Short-eared Owl, lone Water Rail, two Golden Plovers, two Woodcock and a Snow Bunting in the gloom. The few that stumbled about on the outer head were rewarded with very little, although two Wigeon and 59 Teal were on Thornwick Pools and seven Sanderling lingered at South Landing beach.
