After a bright start, overcast skies dominated; light winds throughout, with a high of seven degrees C. Three Shelduck flew south past the Fog Station, while four Goosanders headed east past South Landing. Additional wetland interest included a Russian White-fronted Goose flying north-west over the golf course, 37 Wigeon, 40 Teal, eight Gadwall, five Shoveler, 22 Tufted Ducks and a pair of Little Grebe. A Red Kite initially over Buckton later flew north-west over Head Farm. Following record-breaking numbers of wintering Linnets, mainly as a result of the cover crop at North Marsh, the 350-strong flock still in residence contained four Twite there. Other passerine migrants included 1000 Starlings, six Chiffchaffs, three Goldcrests, nine Pied Wagtails, two Grey Wagtails and three Siskin.
The cliff top at Buckton attracted a Lapland Bunting, 25 Yellowhammers and 50 Corn Buntings. Records from nearby RSPB Bempton Cliffs included three Russian White-fronted Geese, a Woodcock, one Water Rail, 17 Common Buzzards, a Red Kite, 83 Skylarks and 2000 Starlings.
