It was an overcast day with strong south-south-easterly winds. Seawatching highlights included 20 Red-throated Divers heading north, three Great Northern Divers flying south, one Manx Shearwater north, 18 Teal and two Pintail moving south and eight Bonxies; the latter a December record.
The Pink-footed Goose lingered with the Greylag flock, North Marsh attracted eight Wigeon and 57 Teal, whilst the drake Pintail remained at Thornwick. The two Richard’s Pipits showed well between North Marsh and North Landing, with other passerine interest provided by a Chiffchaff in South Dykes and four Stonechats.
