An overcast day with a light south-west wind and temperatures barely exceeding 5 degrees C. Seawatching produced tens of thousands of Guillemots mainly heading north, one Blue Fulmar, five Common Scoter heading south, six Razorbills and three Kittiwakes. The Velvet Scoter, a Grey Plover and a second-winter Iceland Gull were in the South Landing area, with the latter later heading off west towards Sewerby. Two Woodcock were in South Landing ravine, three Sanderling on the beach at South Dykes and one Water Rail at Thornwick Pool. Two Short-eared Owls remain in residence at Buckton.
Passerine interest included a Mistle Thrush, Chiffchaff at Oceanview, eight Goldcrests (seven of which were in South Dykes), two Grey Wagtails and five Bullfinch, unusually including a pair overflying Thornwick Pool.
