A relatively bright day, with sunny intervals, a light northerly wind developing and low temperatures which hovered around 0 degrees until mid-morning, then peaked at four degrees C. A skein of 100 Pink-footed Geese flew north over Sixpenny, whilst two Grey Partridge frequented nearby setaside. A record breaking 99 Rock Pipits were in residence, largely attributable to two flocks of 40+ birds each near North Dykes and Oceanview respectively. Additional passerine records included 175 Jackdaw, three Fieldfare, seven Redwing, eight Song Thrush, four Mistle Thrush, 50 Skylarks, the male Black Redstart and 162 Tree Sparrows. Sightings from RSPB Bempton Cliffs included 500 Pink-footed Geese overhead, two Short-eared Owls, the Ring Ouzel and four Stonechats.
