A misty day, with visibility much reduced at either end of a day that also featured sunny intervals, almost no wind and temperatures reaching ten degrees C. A Green Woodpecker at RSPB Bempton Cliffs late afternoon stole the headlines – although an expected species in many parts of Yorkshire, this remains a true rarity on the headland. Other sightings on the reserve included two Chiffchaffs, two Goldcrests, 17 Redwing, a Wheatear and one Siskin. Notable sightings on the outer head included a flock of 55 Redwing heading east and 14 Siskin and a Brambling visiting a village garden.
