Firstly, and most importantly, all at Flamborough Bird Observatory wish all our supporters and followers a very Merry Xmas!

The weather was relatively benign; misty with overcast skies and light winds, whilst temperatures reached five degrees C by late morning. During the seawatch, four Goosanders flew north, but the highlight pertained to a count of 110 Purple Sandpipers on the rocks below the Fog Station; the latter representing an all time record tally. Meanwhile, the Pied Crow continued its stay on Beech Avenue.
