16th November 2021

Another overcast day, with a light south-westerly wind and temperatures peaking at nine degrees C. A drake Velvet Scoter flew south during the seawatch, with a female/immature Velvet on the sea off the Fog Station; two Woodcock also flew in off. Two Long-tailed Ducks lingered off South Landing, while Thornwick Pools attracted 43 Teal and a Water Rail. Siskins continued to be recorded in above average numbers, with 93 heading west in the morning. RSPB Bempton Cliffs attracted another Woodcock.
