A moderate to fresh north-westerly drove occasional light snow showers and after an overnight severe frost temperatures managed to reach 3°C briefly.
Seawatching proved hard going with highlights being 20 Common Scoter, 20 Golden Plover, a Little Gull and a ‘Blue’ Fulmar.
Sixty-two Lapwing, 32 Golden Plover, four Woodcock and two Water Rails were seen on Outer Head.
Lapwings were also logged at Bempton Cliffs RSPB where 20 were present and a further 30 flew towards the Head.
Not far outside our recording area, a Hoopoe was found feeding by the main road from Bridlington to Flamborough. An early Christmas present for the lucky finder.
