A sunny day, with a light westerly wind and temperatures reaching a mild nine degrees C. A Tundra Bean Goose flew north-east over South Landing early morning. Thornwick Pools/North Marsh attracted 201 Teal, 30 Wigeon, two Tufted Ducks, a Pochard and two Goldeneye, while a Great Northern Diver was off the South Cliffs. A Water Rail was located at South Landing, with wader interest including 136 Lapwing, a Golden Plover, eight Sanderling and ten Woodcock. Notable passerine records included a Chiffchaff (Dykes), two Goldcrests, a Nuthatch (South Dykes), seven Fieldfare, three Redwing and a Snow Bunting.
Greater scrutiny of the recent plough/ patchy stubble cliff top field at Buckton was rewarded with two Shore Larks and six Lapland Buntings; three Short-eared Owls continued in residence at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; 44 Fieldfare and three Redwing were along Cliff Lane.
