After a relatively bright start, overcast skies dominated during a day of moderate south-south-west winds and temperatures that reached three degrees C. Three dark-bellied Brent Geese that flew south represented the most notable record from the morning’s seawatch. The headland’s freshwater sites attracted a Mute Swan, 20 Wigeon, 181 Teal, a Tufted Duck, two Goldeneye and four Grey Herons together. A count of 25 Snipe represented an improvement, whilst a lone Woodcock was also located. Passerine migrants included 27 Fieldfare, two Redwing, a Chiffchaff (Thornwick) and a male Black Redstart (Hartendale).
