Light westerly winds finally provided respite during a relatively bright day, with temperatures peaking at eight degrees C. A skein of 113 Pink-footed Geese flew south during the seawatch, with other notable sightings from the Fog Station including a Long-tailed Duck, four Great Northern Divers and two Bonxies.
In addition to the seawatch record, a southerly movement of Pink-footed Geese also took place over the headland: six additional skeins contained a total of 460 birds. More unusually, a Great Northern Diver flew south at height over the village, whilst a Red Kite toured fields west of there late morning. A late House Martin (Old Fall), three Mistle Thrush, 19 Redwing, 66 Blackbirds, two Chiffchaffs, 28 Meadow Pipits and four Lesser Redpoll were also recorded.
Ringing effort was rewarded with 64 birds being processed, including a Redwing, two Chiffchaffs and a Lesser Redpoll.
