The weather consisted of light south-westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures reaching eight degrees C. A Bonxie flew south during the morning seawatch, while large numbers of Guillemots were back on the cliffs. The Velvet Scoter was still off South Landing where eight Sanderling were on the beach. A flock of 40 Redwing represented a relatively high mid-winter count. Three Short-eared Owls were at RSPB Bempton Cliffs, with a lone Water Rail and five Lapland Buntings at nearby Buckton.
