The weather consisted of relatively light south-westerly winds, sunny intervals and occasional light rain, with temperatures reaching nine degrees C. A Great Northern Diver and three ‘northern’ Herring Gulls flew south during a quiet seawatch. The Thornwick area continued to attract an array of wildfowl including two Mute Swans, two Whooper Swans, a Pink-footed Goose, three Barnacle Geese, 49 Teal and two Tufted Ducks. A ringtail Hen Harrier overflew fields near South Landing, while seven Woodcock and 22 Snipe were a legacy of the recent cold snap; the first-winter Caspian Gull again visited Thornwick Lakes. Passerine interest included six Goldcrests, 56 Redwing, 152 Fieldfare and two Grey Wagtails. The Snow Bunting remained at RSPB Bempton Cliffs and an additional 65 Fieldfare were near Buckton Hall.
