Overcast, with fog/mist dominating for long periods, a light/moderate easterly wind and a high of nine degrees C. The change in weather resulted in an improved seawatch, with two Velvet Scoters flying north and a Great Northern Diver heading in the opposite direction.
The Thornwick area hosted two Mute Swans, 74 Teal, seven Tufted Ducks and a Water Rail. Further wildfowl interest was provided by 350 Pink-footed Geese on fields along the South Cliffs, while 43 Wigeon and 55 Teal were at North Marsh. Six Grey Partridge on the outer head were notable where a Water Rail remained in the Bay Brambles. Passerine interest included the Firecrest at the latter location and two Redwing.
The Firecrest also remained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs where a Short-eared Owl lingered.
