There were light westerly winds throughout a bright day, with a top temperature of seven degrees C. Twenty Common Scoters and nine Razorbills were the most noteworthy sightings of a quiet seawatch. Also a pod of at least nine Bottlenose Dolphins hinted at a change of status, having been notably rare in winter previously.
Five hundred Pink-footed Geese roosted on the outer head before feeding on fields near Bempton. Single Short-eared Owls were seen at South Landing and North Landing, while three birds were present at RSPB Bempton Cliffs; additional sightings from the latter location included 33 Snow Buntings and two Lapland Buntings.
