A relatively overcast day, with a light/moderate westerly wind and temperatures that peaked at seven degrees C. Wildfowl interest included ten Mute Swans, 57 Wigeon, two Shovelers, 11 Tufted Ducks, a Goldeneye and the long-staying Little Grebe. A Merlin overflew Beacon Hill, while nearby, a flock of 30 Waxwings frequented gardens on the southern edge of the village. Elsewhere, three Short-eared Owls hunted the cliff top at RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
