A bright day, with prolonged sunny intervals, a light/moderate south-easterly wind and high of 11 degrees C. Two Velvet Scoters flying north were the standout of a morning seawatch that also featured three Eiders moving in the opposite direction. A single first-winter Russian White-fronted Goose accompanied a Greylag flock near Mid Dykes, while the Thornwick area attracted five Shoveler, eight Gadwall and 20 Tufted Ducks. Overnight a Little Owl was calling at Oceanview; the third record in little over a week east of the Dykes. In addition, a Red Kite overflew the village early afternoon, two Goldcrest and four Chiffchaffs represented an increase, while 25 Corn Buntings remained near North Dykes.
Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included two Golden Plovers, one Woodcock, four Puffins, a Goldcrest and two Snow Buntings.
