Heavy snow showers dominated the morning with further flurries throughout; there were blustery north-west winds and temperatures didn’t exceed zero degrees C. The morning seawatch often lacked visibility of the sea during frequent blizzard conditions(!), but two Manx Shearwaters and a Great Northern Diver did fly north in clearer spells. The two Russian White-fronted Geese again visited Thornwick Lakes in the morning. Cold weather displacement included six Woodcock on the outer head, a flock of eight Snipe over the Bowling Green, eight Song Thrush and three Fieldfare.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included two Woodcock, a Water Rail, one Redwing, three Song Thrush and a Snow Bunting. The nearby village hosted single Woodcock, Redwing and Reed Bunting.
